Support My Candidacy for the Digital Health Canada Board of Directors!

Hello Sex and Gender Working Group members,

I’m excited to share that I am a candidate for Digital Health Canada’s Board of Directors and I would be honoured to have your support. All current Digital Health Canada members are eligible to vote between May 5-16, 2025.

As a proud co-chair of the Sex and Gender Working Group, I believe strongly in embedding equity, inclusivity and innovation into our digital health systems. I am deeply committed to ensuring that traditionally underrepresented voices and communities are included in the digital health conversation. This is one of my primary motivations for wanting to join the Digital Health Canada Board of Directors.

With over 15 years of experience in pan-Canadian digital health, data standards development and health data analytics, I have a unique understanding of Digital Health Canada members’ needs across the country. I also believe strongly in empowering the next generation of digital health leaders and ensuring that they have the tools and resources that they need to be successful. I believe that my passion, skills and experience could help drive Digital Health Canada’s strategic goals and priorities forward, particularly around the organization’s strategic goal of Acting for Equity.

Digital Health Canada members, I would be honoured to have your support when voting opens on Monday! If you’d like to learn more about me and my vision for the Digital Health Canada Board of Directors, please check out my candidate bio here . You can also find me on LinkedIn .

I am very proud to be a part of this community and am grateful for your support.

Have a great day!
