I have been with the Provincial Respiratory Outreach (PROP) team since July 2014. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, which pairs nicely with my career as a Respiratory Therapist! In the last 10 years, I have been fortunate to meet many incredible people through the work I have done with adult and pediatric acute care, hyperbarics, research, and education. Since working with the Provincial Respiratory Outreach Program (PROP), I have been inspired by the ingenuity and individuality impressed upon me by our clients. The work here has truly been most rewarding and I look forward to the ongoing journey of sharing knowledge and developing partnerships with the community.

I have recently joined Technology for Living in November 2019, as the newest Biomedical Engineering Technologist. I graduated from BCIT’s Biomedical Engineering Technology Diploma program in 2019. Prior to that I have acquired a Bachelor of Applied Science in Integrated Engineering majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Biomedical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2015 and an Associate Certificate in Computer Aided Design at BCIT in 2017. Over my educational experience I have helped to develop a wide range of fully functional engineering prototype projects at both UBC and BCIT. One of which is being utilized today at Technology for Living, the Chameleon. I look forward to seeing how it may help improve the lives of our clients. In my spare time I enjoy a verity of hobbies, such as playing soccer, building custom furniture from scratch, traveling, hiking, reading comics, and playing video games.

I’ve been a Respiratory Therapist since 2019 and with PROP since 2021. I first worked in the hustle and bustle of the hospital setting where I solidified my skills in all things Respiratory. I then started work in the community where I learned how great it is to work one-on-one with the public as well as use all of my newfound knowledge. I have a passion for finding ways where quality of care and quality of life can intersect which makes PROP such a great fit for me. Quality of life for me includes being outside enjoying nature with my little pup, Nola. She loves to ride in her doggy backpack while I bike or rollerblade the seawall. I also enjoy listening to a good podcast and spending time with friends and family. I look forward to continuing to learn more about how PROP can support our members in their ideas of quality of life.
