Speaker Profile

___	__
	Biography I am a first generation Canadian and could be compared to a gypsy with the number of times I have moved in my short life thus far. I am an avid golfer, previously playing university golf and now continued for fun in ladies league. I am a C-IMG (I completed my clinical training in the USA and in 2013 I graduated (with my brother!) with my Doctor of Medicine from Avalon University School of Medicine in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles). I have worked as a perioperative assistant as well as in medical education while awaiting a residency position. This is where my desire to become a leader clinically and in academics/education came to parturition (a little OBGYN pun). Thankfully in 2016 the University of Saskatchewan OBGYN program had an unmatched CaRMS position that I was able to attain. I am currently based in Regina, SK and on maternity leave with only a few weeks remaining in residency thereafter. I look forward to where my future career path may take my family and I. As a previous SOGC board member, current SOGC resident committee chair, community volunteer and faculty for examination prep nationally, I look forward to continually advocating on behalf of residents and students in both education and sport. Disclosure I do not have a relationship with a for-profit and/or a not-for-profit organization to disclose. I do not intend to make therapeutic recommendations for medications that have not received regulatory approval (i.e. “off-label” use of medication).
