About

I completed my PhD in Nutrition at the University of Alberta (UofA) in 2015 specializing in dietary management in Chinese immigrants with Type 2 Diabetes. Subsequently, I joined the Clinical Islet Transplant Program at the UofA as a research coordinator, where I gained substantial experience in coordinating research development and grant applications, clinical trial applications, managing budgets, reviewing contracts and agreements, and managing communication and partnerships with industry sponsors and funding agencies. Then I worked as a grants administrator at Research Administrative Services before I started my current role of research partner supporting the College of Health Sciences. My primary goal is to provide strategic support to researchers in their research development and grant applications and to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations in order to improve grant application success and increase research revenue. I am also pursuing my MBA (part-time) at the UofA and I'm continuously looking for ways to better support researchers and senior leaders in developing strategic research initiatives and partnerships.
