The role of myelination after spinal cord injury
Why did you decide to pursue a graduate degree?
I was interested in contributing to our understanding of injury and repair mechanisms.
Why did you decide to study at UBC?
Studying at UBC offered a great opportunity to study neuroscience from some of the top researchers in the field and a great training environment at the International Collaboration of Repair Discoveries (ICORD).
What was the best surprise about UBC or life in Vancouver?
I love living in Vancouver, and I am so glad I took the chance and moved out west.
What do you like to do for fun or relaxation?
I play on the Canadian Women's National Sledge Hockey Team.
