My Story…
My interest in nutrition began when as a young child, I observed my Mom cooking…
Okay, for real, my interest in (or rather, obsession with) nutrition started with a science fair project when I was 16….
From there I pursued my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, double majoring in nutritional sciences and music. When I graduated…
…I created a fruit sculpture to celebrate…
…and then started my PhD, where I conducted nutrition research.
I completed my PhD…
…and MD at the University of Toronto.
I completed my first residency in Family Medicine at Women’s College Hospital, in Toronto.
And then pursued additional training in family medicine at the Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia.
I currently work as a locum tenens physician with experiences in downtown Toronto and the Bronx, NYC.
I’m also an Adjunct Asssistant Professor at the Eastern Virginia Medical School where I’m actively involved in the creation of a nutrition curriculum for medical students. Here’s my quintessential “what doctors need to know about nutrition” lecture: “Nutrition for Doctors: Hypertension, Diabetes and Dyslipidemia”
Overall, I’m devoted to translating nutrition science into clinical settings.
