Assistant Professor
CancerCare Manitoba, Canada
I am a pediatric hematologist/oncologist at CancerCare Manitoba, University of Manitoba and a Scientist at Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute. My research program focuses on enhancing symptom management, especially mental health and supportive care of children, adolescents, and young adults (AYAs) with cancer to improve their overall outcomes, cancer experience, and quality of life during and after their cancer treatment. My research involves engaging and partnering with patients, using quantitative and qualitative approaches, and routinely collecting population-based administrative data. Addressing disparities in cancer care of children and AYAs with cancer is an essential goal of this research. Another important aspect of my research is to improve the outcomes of children and AYAs with sarcomas. As a young investigator with the soft tissue sarcoma committee of the Children’s Oncology Group, I am currently working on various projects focusing on children and adolescents with soft-tissue sarcomas.
