Career Story
During high school I did a co-op placement in a Physiotherapy clinic which helped with my interest in the career. I attended McMaster University and did a 4 year degree (BSc) in Biology and Psychology. I applied to the Physiotherapy program, but was not accepted the first time. The second time applying I was accepted and I graduated 2 years later with a degree in Physiotherapy from McMaster (BHSc). It is now a master’s degree. I have taken many continuing education courses over the years including a certification in acupuncture.
