About Me
Ann-Marie holds a Bachelor's degree in Biology and Statistics and an MBA from the University of Toronto. She has over 20 years of experience in clinical research and operations, with a focus on high-quality study design and academic collaboration.
Before joining Kaiser Permanente, she spent more than a decade managing pediatric stroke research at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and contributing to peer-reviewed publications on childhood arterial ischemic stroke, cerebral sinovenous thrombosis, and neurovascular imaging.
In addition to her work in pediatrics, Ann-Marie has supported real-world evidence research across multiple clinical domains, including oncology, cardiology, and gynecology. She is passionate about helping physicians and trainees design rigorous studies that translate clinical insight into actionable evidence and impactful publications.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband and two children — whether it's a casual Sunday lunch out, a picnic at the park, or outdoor adventures like biking, hiking, camping, and scuba diving.
