Sandra was born and raised in the GTA. She attended Queen's University Belfast in the United Kingdom for medical school and spent one year in Northern Ireland completing her internship. She then matched to the Family Medicine program at the University of Ottawa. While Sandra thoroughly enjoyed her time spent in Ottawa, she knew that her passion rested in General Surgery. In February 2022, she transferred into the General Surgery program at Queen's.
Sandra is drawn to the fast-paced nature of General Surgery, alongside the vast presentations within this incredibly diverse specialty. Her noted highlights of the program include early operative exposure and an amazing community of co-residents and staff. Sandra enjoys spending time with family and friends outdoors, as well as exploring the vast number of independently owned coffee shops in Kingston.
