I began my undergraduate degree in Science at UBC. With more exposure, be it via course work or volunteer activities, I knew that medicine was the path for me. When I was accepted into UBC Medicine, I was on my way to becoming the first doctor in my family! Early on, I realized that I was drawn to surgical specialties. Funny enough, I wasn’t familiar with the field of Urology. It wasn’t until my father in law told me about his experience with a urologist that I learned of the field. After shadowing a few urologic procedures, I decided to get involved in research. After that, there was no going back. I was hooked by the diversity of the field, and the incredible people I’d met during the process. I’m truly honoured and excited to be a part of the UBC team, and I look forward to an incredible residency.
