Why I Serve?

Serving as a volunteer leader with the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation is a deeply personal motivation for me, rooted in a passion for healthcare and a commitment to advancing evidence-based practices. Throughout my journey, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that chiropractic care can have on individuals’ overall well-being. This experience has fueled my desire to contribute to the field by supporting innovative research that can enhance treatment efficacy, patient outcomes, and the integration of chiropractic care within the broader healthcare landscape.

Moreover, I am driven by the opportunity to foster a community of like-minded individuals who share a vision for improving patient care through scientific inquiry. By collaborating with researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders, I aim to create pathways for accessing knowledge and implementing best practices that can enrich the profession.

Ultimately, my motivation lies in merging my passion for health and wellness with a desire to elevate the chiropractic profession through research, ensuring that communities across Canada receive the best possible care. Together, we can shape the future of chiropractic and make a lasting, positive impact.
