This includes providing guidance on the development of protocols and reports, and the critical appraisal of RCTs, non-randomized controlled trials, single-arm trials, observational (real-world) evidence, and indirect treatment comparisons. I conduct internal reviews of reports, which includes ensuring compliance with internal processes, methodologies, and quality standards and providing timely and actionable advice. I contribute to the development of internal methodological guidance documents, implementation of new methods, and training opportunities for staff. Show less

As of May 1, 2024, CADTH is now Canada's Drug Agency.

In my spare time, I graded papers and exams for third- and fourth-year undergraduate nutrition courses.

I collaborated with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate complex evidence syntheses with the aim of informing health care decision making, and contributing to guideline development. I also led primary research projects evaluating the use of machine learning technologies and other progressive techniques for creating efficiencies in evidence synthesis processes, and the reliability and usability of evidence synthesis methodologies. I delivered formal and informal training and learning… Show more I collaborated with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate complex evidence syntheses with the aim of informing health care decision making, and contributing to guideline development. I also led primary research projects evaluating the use of machine learning technologies and other progressive techniques for creating efficiencies in evidence synthesis processes, and the reliability and usability of evidence synthesis methodologies. I delivered formal and informal training and learning opportunities for staff and students. I acted as a resource and point of contact for project coordinators and research assistants at the centre.

I facilitated evidence-based program evaluation by synthesizing knowledge on methods and tools for measuring youth thriving (autonomy, relatedness and competence).

I planned and managed multiple studies, including quantitative and qualitative primary research studies, systematic reviews, and program evaluations. I secured research funding via multiple successful grant applications (e.g., CIHR Doctoral Research Award). I was an adjunct lecturer for a large (350+ students) third-year undergraduate nutrition course, including preparing and delivering teaching material and evaluations, and supervising a team of teaching assistants.

I completed systematic reviews for community-based stakeholders; assembled project binders for presentation to community stakeholders; and presented findings at in-person meetings.

I entered 24-h recall and food frequency data into CANDAT for nutrient analysis; audited data entries and identified outliers; and maintained local specialty food and nutrient files.

I portioned food and snacks for the distribution centre; distributed water and snacks to patient floors; and served clients and handled cash transactions in the cafeteria.
