After completing both medical school and residency in BC, she has worked primarily in rural BC for most of her career. This started with full spectrum family practice in Hazelton, BC, where she enjoyed living and working in a primarily first nations community. In 2006, she received her Special Competency in Emergency Medicine (CCFP - EM) designation and switched to full time emergency medicine in Nelson, BC. She became a certified independent ultrasound practitioner in 2007, and is passionate about the value of bedside ultrasound in rural health care. In 2012 she moved to Yellowknife, NT, to work in the ER there, which also gave her amazing opportunities for travel and work in remote Arctic communities. In 2015, she was featured in the CBC Documentary “Keeping Canada Alive”. She has since retired from very long (very, very, long) winters and is back in Nelson, BC.
