I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta and was accepted into the Dietetic Internship Program at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. I started my career as a Dietitian at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and then moved to the University of Alberta Hospital – I have worked in a variety of settings but mainly in the area of Medicine and had a strong interest in Pulmonary and GI. After 12 years of clinical experience, I went into a clinical leadership role and over the years, my work has broadened and the job continues to challenge me both professionally and personally. I am a conservative “foodie” and am always on the hunt for a great cup of coffee! It is a constant challenge to develop and provide great education opportunities to clinicians. I hope my past experience will help in contributing to the development of strong education programs in CNS!
