I grew up in Victoria and attended the University of British Columbia for medical school before moving to the east coast for residency. I completed internal medicine and gastroenterology residency at Dalhousie University. I then completed a motility and nutrition fellowship at the University of Calgary. I am now working as a gastroenterologist in the Division of Digestive Care and Endoscopy at the QEII in Halifax where I am acting as director of the Halifax motility program and the Nova Scotia home parenteral nutrition program.
