What sparked you to study in your chosen field?

I always had an interest in bacteria, and the gut is full of them, so gastroenterology seemed like a natural fit.

What advice would you give to students entering graduate school?

Be confident in your work and its importance! 

Who inspires you?

The patients I got to collaborate with. Their advocacy and willingness to help future patients was a big inspiration for my graduate research.

What was your favorite distraction?

Playing ringette and spending time outdoors.
