Background

I am a naturally inquisitive person and deeply fascinated by several areas of health. I have worked in academic, corporate and clinical environments. These have involved mostly knowledge translation, ergonomics, motor vehicle collisions, women’s health and education. However, I am interested in other areas as well.

I am a naturally inquisitive person and deeply fascinated by several areas of health. I have worked in academic, corporate and clinical environments. These have involved mostly knowledge translation, ergonomics, motor vehicle collisions, women’s health and education. However, I am interested in other areas as well. Formally I am trained in a broad array of methods, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research. Currently, I am most interested in the qualitative study of decision-making in health care organizations and professions. I look at how different groups of people view and use evidence differently. Notions of professional identity and motivation underpin much of my work. In the community I am an advocate for women and children’s health. The common thread throughout involves understanding individuals’ roles and decision-making related to health and the workplace.

My recent work includes chiropractic care in women's health, adverse events in pregnancy and geriatric chiropractic care, systematic reviews for the WHO guidelines in the management of chronic LBP, and various other clinical studies.

In addition to my CMCC life, I continue to practice part-time as a clinician at my own clinic. This dual role allows me to stay connected to patient care while working in research.
