Where did you grow up?
Chatham, Ontario.
What was your first job?
Hostess at Kelsey's Restaurant.
What is your favourite Chatham-Kent pastime?
I would say playing basketball and volleyball in high-school. Playing in tournaments on the weekends and having the opportunity to meet some really great people - some of which I am still great friends with today!
What is your favourite season?
Summer. I love getting outside and enjoying the warm weather - family BBQ's, beaches... running outside.
Name an experience that has positively motivated you.
Volunteering with Naturopathic Doctors International and opening up a clinic in Nicaragua providing free healthcare for people of the community. It was a really eye opening experience to see the lack of available healthcare in a third world country.
What did you do after high school?
I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph and then completed a 4 year post graduate program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto.
What are you doing now?
Why did you come back to Chatham-Kent? I moved back to Chatham-Kent to be closer to my family and for the opportunity to open up my own business. As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor I have opened Chatham-Kent Integrative Health clinic in hopes of helping to improve the health of the community.
Why live in Chatham-Kent?
Cost of living, great place to raise a family, and close to lakes/beaches.
