What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles that bridge mental health services and clinical research, where I can lead multidisciplinary teams, strengthen programs, and support community and Indigenous health through evidence-based care, capacity building, and stakeholder collaboration.

I am a healthcare professional with over ten years of cross-functional experience spanning hospital systems, clinical research, public health, mental health and addiction counseling, social work and Indigenous health.

I excel at aligning organizational goals with actionable strategies to enhance clinical outcomes and operational efficiency, and I regularly lead multidisciplinary teams while fostering collaborative stakeholder relationships.

In Harvard Medical School's Global Clinical Scholars Research Training (GCSRT) program I was recognized as the best candidate in Clinical Leadership and received awards of excellence in Drug Development and Clinical Trials.

I bring strengths in strategic planning, program and project management, capacity building, pharmacovigilance, clinical trials oversight, data governance and culturally informed mental health care; I seek opportunities to lead teams, improve services, and mentor staff to deliver measurable improvements in patient and community outcomes.
