Graduating year: 2016
Degree: MSc
After graduation, I moved to Toronto and pursued a job in the medical insurance industry. I worked for one year as a Case Manager at Manulife Financial. During this time I realized I much preferred academia to industry. So in September 2014, I returned to UBC to pursue graduate studies under the supervision of Dr. Blouin.
