Short Bio: My ties to Canada started in Halifax, where I was born at the time my father was an OBGYN resident there. Short after, we moved to Saudi Arabia where I grew up in Jeddah, a beautiful west coast city that I call home. I attended Medical school, a 7-year program, at King Abdulaziz University. After which I was awarded a Plastic Surgery scholarship that wrote my journey back to Canada. In transition I was lucky enough to work under two inspirational UWO plastic surgery alumni who not only put London on my radar but made training at Western a dream I'm so honoured to live. This is an exciting chapter of my life both professionally and culturally. In my free time I enjoy just about any type of fitness training/sports anywhere from running, biking, scuba diving to even skydiving!
