Knowledge Translation and Evaluation Specialist

About this employee

I’ve been part of Amplify Care for over three years. I first joined as a co op student during my Master of Health Evaluation practicum, and I’ve been working here ever since. In my role as a Knowledge Translation and Evaluation Specialist, I’m fortunate to contribute to a wide variety of projects where I’m constantly learning and growing. I help translate data, evidence, and complex concepts into clear, actionable insights that support stronger digital health decision-making. My work focuses on bridging research and practice to ensure our programs are meaningful, measurable, and grounded in real-world needs. I’m motivated by the impact we make in creating care that is more accessible, coordinated, and patient-centred, and I find it incredibly rewarding to collaborate with thoughtful teams dedicated to improving health experiences.

Fun Fact

I grew up playing soccer, and now as an adult I still try to get out a couple of nights a week to play in local leagues. When there is good weather, I love heading out to the Hydrocut in Kitchener, which has amazing free mountain bike trails. I’m also a big fan of horror movies and true crime podcasts. My favourite podcast is Canadian True Crime by Kristi Lee; I love how each episode is deeply researched and thoughtfully explained, and it’s fascinating to hear stories rooted in towns and places that feel familiar.

What I love most about working at Amplify Care are the people. It's being part of a team that values learning, collaboration, and meaningful impact. Digital health is constantly evolving, and it’s inspiring to contribute to solutions that make care more connected and accessible for people across our communities. I am so happy to work at a place where I feel employees are recognized for their work and everyone is welcome to contribute and share ideas.
