Hometown: Surrey, BC
Program: Family Practice Residency Program, Kamloops
What attracted you to your field?
My path into medicine was guided by a deep appreciation for connection, empathy and supporting patients through life’s many transitions. Family medicine stood out to me because of its breadth, continuity and the opportunity to care for individuals and families over time. I love that every day brings something new, and I find meaning in the relationships we build with our patients. The Kamloops program offered the perfect balance of clinical variety, mentorship and community, which prepared me to care for patients with empathy, skill and confidence.
What is your favourite moment from your time at UBC?
Spending time with my co-residents was the highlight of my residency. From regular dinners to unforgettable karaoke nights, those moments brought so much laughter and connection. The people around me—both peers and preceptors—fostered a sense of support, camaraderie and mentorship that made even the toughest days easier and every experience more meaningful.
What is one piece of advice you have for students entering your program?
Stay curious, embrace every learning opportunity and don’t be afraid to ask questions. The growth you experience during residency comes not only from medical knowledge but also from building meaningful connections with patients, colleagues and mentors. Be kind to yourself—you’re learning and evolving every day.
What’s next for you?
I’m excited to begin working in the Kamloops and Logan Lake area, where I’ll be doing a mix of clinic, hospitalist work and addictions care. After graduating in June, I’m also looking forward to taking some time to travel with my friends and family.
