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.

Today I’m a resident physician in Family Medicine in Toronto.

Overall, my goal is to promote healthy eating as a means to live optimally…(note the fruit in my hand…not the words on my t-shirt)…

…and hopefully clarify some of the confusion that surrounds nutrition.

In my spare time I enjoying playing the piano…

…tennis, yoga, running, walking, embroidery, writing and reading.
