My Discipline/Specialty
I have experience in project management, service design, and qualitative research.
How did I get here?
My journey to OpenLab was circuitous, but through the various experiences I had prior to joining the team I gained the skills necessary to succeed. I started in university studying pharmacology, with an interest in medicine and healthcare as a whole but quickly realized that I wasn’t passionate about basic science or the work I was doing. Through working in both research and project management, I discovered design and went to do my masters in Translational Research. With my masters in hand, I had the design basics I needed to begin freelancing, and eventually leading to my work at OpenLab.

- MHSc: Translational Research and Innovation, University of Toronto
