Biography
I was born in Toronto, Ontario but raised in St. Catharines near Niagara Falls. I was awarded an athletic and academic scholarship to Ridley College to pursue my athletics as a hockey goalie. After high school, I received another scholarship to the University of Windsor, close to Detroit. Moreover, I hold a Bachelor of Science (Honors) degree from Brock University and my MD from Medical University of the Americas. I enjoy research and publishing, eating plant-based, being outdoors, advocating for mental health awareness, sports, and rescuing animals.
