I am a fourth year medical student at University of British Columbia with a keen interest in perioperative care and pain management. I completed my Bachelor degree in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University before returning back to Vancouver for medical school. My interest in perioperative pain management stems from some of my advocacy work regarding the current opioid crisis in BC. At our provincial lobby day, we advocated to the BC government for decriminalizing opioids and increasing access to injectable opioid agonist therapies. Outside of medicine, I enjoy biking, hiking, baking and playing piano. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the meeting and presenting our work!
