I've been a Physician for 29 years, a Wife for 32 years, a Mother for 27 years, and so much more - Sister, Daughter, Aunt, Learner, Educator, Caregiver, Patient, Traveller, Friend, and...

I'm also a Physician Leader, deeply passionate about enhancing patient care while supporting and uplifting fellow Physicians in their crucial work. I'm a collaborative leader who values strong relationships and teamwork among all stakeholders. With a knack for strategic thinking and advocacy, I'm driven by the belief in physician-led healthcare reform, transforming our system into one that places the well-being of both patients and providers at the core.

I find joy in facilitating conversations that inspire deep thinking and result in concrete actions. Active listening is my pledge to you, and I'm here to listen to anyone who reaches out. I will work tirelessly for specialists and family docs alike, to ensure we have an organization and a profession that meets the needs of British Columbians and one that we can be proud of.

My values are rooted in authenticity, transparency, accountability, and adaptability, which I believe are crucial in leadership. I cherish trusting relationships and understand that building, strengthening, and uniting our physician community is paramount in navigating our complex world. I'm committed to Truth, Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, with a focus on bettering the lives of the underserved and vulnerable. I feel your moral distress. I have diverse clinical and leadership experience and am dedicated to lessening administrative burdens, ultimately restoring the Joy in Medicine.
