She has been a member of BC Family Doctors’ leadership team since 2019, currently serving as Board Chair.

“I am honoured and excited to serve as your President-Elect. By uniting as a profession – and building a culture of ‘WE’ – together we can build a health care system that meets the needs of our patients and enables us, as physicians of BC, to provide the high-quality care that we have been called to provide. I thank each one of you for your support and your ongoing commitment to the profession and to the people of BC.”

Outside of her clinic and leadership time, she is a devoted wife and mother, and enjoys travel, music, theatre, yoga, and reading.
