As a PhD Researcher in cardiovascular disease at the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre (No. 1 research-intensive hospital in western Canada), I work to identify the molecular pathways that contribute to structural and mechanical remodeling in atrial tissue resultant from atrial fibrillation. I interrogate remodeling processes using novel ex vivo and in vitro approaches using rodent cardiomyocytes. A major component of my PhD research is part of an international collaboration with Ben Gurion University, Israel, where I am responsible for the transfer of knowledge of novel experimental procedures between laboratories. During my PhD tenure my research efforts have thus far led to 3 publications and over $150,000 in competitive research fellowships/scholarships.

As a M.Sc. Researcher in Vascular Biology at the St. Boniface Research Centre, I was trained in specialized methodologies such as pressure myography of microscopic arteries and complex mathematical modeling relating to vascular biology, as well as universally applied techniques such as western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and in vivo experimentation with rodent models of cardiovascular disease. Outcomes of my M.Sc. research includes 2 publications (1 first authored, 1 second-authored) and multiple awards.
