Personal statement
“In my role as IPAC Physician at Public Health Ontario, I am able to conduct research to inform pediatric infection prevention in children, increasing our understanding and the impacts of optimizing preventative measures needed to protect this vulnerable sector. I enjoy being part of a strong public health team with access to and expertise with provincial databases and collaborating with acute care and other sectors to develop ideas and new approaches.
