“I am a woman working in a man’s world and I want to make a difference for the women that I treat.”

“I am particularly interested in finding solutions to improve healthcare for women from marginalized groups, including those from ethnic backgrounds, remote areas, and racialized communities.”

“Witnessing the knowledge and treatments gaps in women presenting to the emergency department with “non-traditional” chest pain as a Registered Nurse ignited a passion to empower others, by increasing awareness of women’s sex-specific risk factors and symptom presentations of cardiac pain at large.”

“I know firsthand what it means to be misdiagnosed and dismissed. Nursing education regarding women’s heart health is extremely limited even though the majority of nurses are women.”

“There are so many opportunities to work in healthcare and the fitness industry to promote women’s heart health…There are endless possibilities!”

“By virtue of identifying as a woman and by seeing more and more women with heart disease requiring care, I began focusing on women’s heart health.”

“When I moved to Canada for my PhD and began working with cardiac rehab programs in a high-income setting, I noticed a similar trend: those who needed these programs the most were still not accessing them.”
