Grace immigrated to Canada with her parents at the age of four and grew up in Whitby, Ontario. She did her undergraduate degree in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program at McMaster University, where she first developed a love for human anatomy and its relationship to function by being an Anatomy/Physiology TA. She attended medical school at the University of Toronto, where she is delighted to also be continuing her training in the Cardiac Surgery Residency Program.
Grace is grateful for research mentors who have supported her academic development in areas of interest including clinical epidemiology, randomized controlled trials, machine learning from large datasets, and surgical education. Her clinical interests include heart failure/mechanical circulatory support and aortic disease. Grace is also passionate about promoting equity in both the delivery of global surgical care and within the cardiac surgical workforce.
When she is not in the hospital, Grace loves cycling, running on the waterfront, and attending Toronto’s many live music events.
