About

I’m an award-winning physician and writer. I’ve guided hundreds of women doctors through writing experiences at Understory. My writing has appeared in many books, including The Surprising Lives of Small-town Doctors (2016) and Pursuing Health (2018). I’ve published in Academic Medicine (2012), the Journal of Adolescent Health (2013), Social Medicine (2014), the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry (2014) and the Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine (2012 and 2018), amongst others. My interviews have appeared dozens of news and radio outlets. I’m an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, teaching about community, ethics and belonging for over a decade.

I’m most at home in the tide pools of British Columbia.
