Adult Neuropsychology Fellowship

Graduate school: Université de Montréal

Why Mayo Clinic: I initially did not plan to come to Mayo. But Mayo had other plans for me. I had the most serendipitous encounter with my (now) research mentor through social media, which led me to first do a research postdoc in neurology at Mayo. I was immediately in awe of the brilliance, kindness, and empathy of my colleagues. This eventually led me to join this clinical fellowship program, which made me an exponentially better clinician-researcher. The work environment here is nothing short of exceptional and truly impactful for patient care. I will forever be grateful to all the colleagues, mentors, and friends I made along the way. They profoundly changed how I provide patient care and conduct clinical research.
