Professional Education It is a privilege to have received the level of education required to be an orthodontic specialist. This profession possess qualities of sound ethics, evidence-based learning and treatment, care and generosity. I received my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of British Columbia, Department of Dentistry in 2001 and completed a two-year General Practice Residency (GPR) at the University of Washington, Department of Dentistry in 2003. Then I attended the University of Rochester, Eastman Dental Center where I received my diploma in Orthodontics in 2005. As a Certified Specialist, I am a fellow at the Royal College of Dentists of Canada since 2005.

Education I attended the University of Toronto, obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree with honours in Nutrition. Then I spent some time in England attending The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where I completed a Masters of Science degree in Public Health Nutrition. I continued on to pursue a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree at the University of Manitoba. I was very involved in dental research throughout my training and was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Dentistry for my contributions. I continued on to pursue a three-year specialty degree in Orthodontics, where I received extensive training in treating cleft palate cases in the craniofacial program, and graduated with a Masters in Orthodontics (MS) from The Ohio State University.

Experience I joined Dr. W. Michael Wainwright, who had been my instructor at UBC, in his West Broadway orthodontic practice in 1984, and have been practicing at this location ever since. I became a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics in 1990 and a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists in 2002, both being honour degrees in the specialty of Orthodontics. I am an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UBC Dental School, where I have been teaching since 1984, currently as a clinical instructor in the Graduate Orthodontics Program. I also lecture to the Dental Hygiene students at the VCC program, and am a consulting staff member at the BC Cancer Agency.
