Research Assistant / PhD Student
I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Queen's University, and a Master's degree in Health Informatics from Dalhousie University. I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Epidemiology at McGill.
Since joining the Surveillance Lab I have been involved in projects simulating anthrax inhalation outbreaks, monitoring infectious disease through e-prescribing software, and detecting tuberculosis outbreaks through space-time surveillance. I am currently interested in modeling the spread of infectious disease.
