Biography

Personal Slogan:

If you want something done, give it to a busy person. Pressure creates diamonds.

What’s close to your heart?

my lungs (puns and sarcasm, obviously)

 

How did you get here?

Now, this is a story all about how

I started workin’ at Toronto General, downtown,

And I’d like to take a minute Don’t change that tab

I’ll tell you how I arrived at the innovative OpenLab:

♪  ♪  ♪

In Toronto, Canada, not born, but raised

In the classroom is where I spent most of my days

Undergrad in business and a Masters degree

Researchin’ tech in healthcare for my PhD

When abroad for five years, my mom said that was no good

Started movin’ back to my old neighbourhood

I got one little grant, that helped me shine through

And the Virtual Reality clinical trials became true!
