What brought you to interventional radiology?
Our Radiology residency has the unique advantage of no fellows. Therefore, we obtain very early hands-on training for all procedures. I really enjoyed the procedural work during my residency.
What is one thing that is exciting about the future of IR?
Over the last 10-15 years, the number of new and innovative procedures in IR has grown exponentially. This will continue for quite some time.
What is one remarkable moment/achievement in your career?
Being appointed Interventional Radiology Chief for the Eastern Health region.
Any hobbies, what do enjoy doing outside of work?
Spending time with my family, being active and enjoying the incredible great outdoors of NL!
What is one interesting thing you want to share with us about you?
I played 5 years of varsity basketball for the Memorial SeaHawks during undergrad.
