"My journey to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor was inspired by witnessing the transformative impact of naturopathic medicine on many people around me. I saw firsthand how it improved their quality of life and addressed health issues in a holistic manner. This real-world inspiration, combined with my academic research in immunotherapy at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, fueled my passion for integrative medicine. I became fascinated with how naturopathic approaches could complement conventional treatments, particularly in cancer care, enhancing the body's natural ability to heal and prevent disease. This blend of inspiration and scientific inquiry solidified my commitment to promoting health, wellness, and disease prevention through naturopathic medicine."
