I have a passion for maternal and perinatal health, specifically investigating developmental origins of health and disease. Over the past two years at Queen’s University, under the mentorship of Dr. Charles Graham, Dr. Tiziana Cotechini, and Dr. Maria Velez, I’ve had the joy of exploring the impact of pregnancy complications on the future health of mothers and their offspring. Throughout my doctoral studies I plan to continue investigating ways pregnancy complications can impact future pregnancies in mothers and their offspring as well as their risk of subsequent cardiovascular and metabolic health. My aspiration is to contribute significantly one day to this field of research in such a manner that my research can help mitigate risk for future mothers and increase their health and the health of their babies. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, watching the latest Netflix shows and movies, and cooking.
