About

I joined the Section of Cardiology at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg in July 2006. I am currently an Associate Professor in the College of Medicine, Max Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, as well as Director of the Heart Failure and Heart Transplant Clinics. I am also the Head of the Medical Heart Failure Program for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Cardiac Sciences Program.

Education / Training

I attended medical school at the University of Manitoba and went on to train in Internal Medicine and Cardiology at the same centre. I completed my Postdoctoral Clinical Fellowship, specializing in Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant, at Toronto General Hospital.

Research Interests

I am involved in several heart failure clinical trials. My area of research examines the efficacy of new treatments including food derived bioactives, in heart failure. I am the President of the Canadian Heart Failure Society and on the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Primary Panels for both the Heart Failure and Heart Transplant Guidelines. In 2017 I was appointed to the Heart and Stroke Foundation Mission Critical Area Council on Heart Failure and am also the Co-Chair of Canada’s largest annual heart failure meeting, HF Update. My current passion is working with national and provincial patient advocacy groups and primary care to operationalize hub and spoke models of heart failure care.
