Biography :

Clinical research professional specializing in gastroenterology and Neurogastroenterology research. I currently serve as Research Manager at Cedar Valley Digestive Health Research, where I coordinate clinical trials and investigator-initiated studies focusing on gastrointestinal disorders, microbiome research, and gut-brain axis mechanisms. My work involves managing clinical studies, regulatory oversight, and translational research initiatives exploring the relationship between intestinal inflammation and systemic diseases. I am particularly interested in emerging evidence linking gastrointestinal pathology with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.
