I completed my BSc in 2011 at the University of Ottawa. In my fourth year honours thesis project I used homozygosity mapping and next generation sequencing to identify the genetic cause for an autosomal recessive Hutterite syndrome. I am currently a master's student at the University of Calgary under the supervision of Dr. Jillian Parboosingh. My research focuses on characterizing the genetic basis of two Mendelian disorders of skeletal development.
