Professional Experience

Northway Group of Pharmacies | 2025-present

Northway Pharmacy Group is a Manitoba-based network of community pharmacies dedicated to delivering accessible, patient-centred care across a wide range of urban and rural settings. The organization is known for its strong operational foundation, collaborative team environment, and commitment to high-quality service within the healthcare system.

I recently joined Northway as part of a new chapter in my professional journey. This transition offers an opportunity to broaden my perspective within the community pharmacy landscape, learn from new mentors, and continue growing as a healthcare leader. I’m excited to contribute to an organization that values both excellence in practice and a supportive, team-based culture.

SpiritRx Services (formerly Grand Medicine Health Services) | 2018–2025

SpiritRx Services is an independent pharmacy owned by the 7 Tribal Councils of Manitoba. The organization provides pharmacy and medical supply services to rural and remote communities across Manitoba, Nunavut, and Northwestern Ontario, embracing a care-over-commerce philosophy that prioritizes patient needs and sustainable solutions.

At SpiritRx, I’ve taken on leadership and clinical roles to support patient care and operational excellence. As Manager of Professional Practice, I oversee a team of pharmacists and technicians, focusing on professional development, workflow improvements, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

As a Clinical Check Pharmacist, I ensure the accuracy and clinical appropriateness of medications for blister-packing and support patients in underserved communities. I collaborate with healthcare professionals to address unique care needs, including opioid-agonist therapy in remote regions.

In my role as Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Coordinator, I lead the implementation of patient safety initiatives, monitor medication incidents for trends, and develop strategies to enhance safety and reduce errors.

National Laboratory for HIV Immunology – Proteomics Group | 2013–2015

As an Undergraduate Research Student, I contributed to proteomic research by developing methods to optimize trypsin digestion and quantify drug content using a MALDI platform. My work included analyzing clinical mucosal and tissue samples to advance understanding in HIV immunology. This experience strengthened my analytical skills and provided a strong foundation in research methodologies and laboratory practices.
