Upon graduating from York University with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, I pursued my MSc in Physiotherapy at UCD in Dublin, Ireland. My passion for human anatomy, physiology, and fitness has always been my driving force, placing me at Dr. Graham’s Core Optimum health centre today.

I truly believe that all my patients deserve to receive the highest quality of care possible, which is why I thoroughly educate my patients on their conditions, whereby empowering them to take control of their rehabilitation process alongside myself to return to their previous, and more optimal state. I tend to accomplish that goal with my patients by incorporating the latest evidence into my treatments, alongside manual therapy combined with an exercise-based approach. I acquire a vast array of skills which includes manual therapy, soft tissue release, k-taping, cupping, and acupuncture. I plan on diversifying that skillset even more by taking additional courses in dry-needling, confusion training, as well as other advanced manual therapy courses.

I have always been an active individual with a passion for sports, specifically soccer and swimming where I have played competitive soccer throughout my high school period. One of my main hobbies alongside soccer is weightlifting. Throughout my time at York University, I worked as a Master Trainer at LA Fitness, which provided me with a robust foundation with regards to general exercises and overall health and fitness. Thanks to my fitness background, this has always helped in guiding my treatments to help my patients reach their goals. I like to spend my free time with my family and friends, playing soccer and working out.
