My Story

As an avid athlete growing up, I took a particular interest in hockey from a young age. Nagging hip injuries led me to miss my full Grade 11 season and delays in diagnosing the root of the cause led to prolonged injuries and multiple surgeries over many years. Chiropractors were instrumental in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of my hip injuries, which ultimately allowed me to play collegiate hockey for the Princeton University Tigers. Eager to contribute in my sophomore season, I sustained 2 concussions in a 3-month period and never returned to game action. As a student-athlete at Princeton, I was proud to continue my education and graduate with Honours despite my hockey career not going quite as planned.

Upon graduation I moved to Laos, a small landlocked country in Southeast Asia. A third concussion while working in Laos forced me to move home and take a biopsychosocial approach to my own healthcare. Over the next 3 years, I showed a daily and unwavering commitment to rest, diet, rehabilitation exercises, and treatment. Chiropractors again played a pivotal role in my recovery and inspired me to pursue a career in chiropractic. I hope to bring both my personal and professional experiences to all my patient interactions.
