"I really started to get interested in health law. But the group of firms and lawyers who do health law in Ontario is a pretty select one – especially on the defence side – so I wasn’t sure how to make the jump to that area of practice. When you get senior enough as a lawyer without experience in a particular niche, it’s hard to demonstrate your commitment and get someone to take a chance on you. I did the Health Law LLM to open doors, which is what it did."

"In my role as Corporate Chief, I saw the laws evolving. The rise of technology, the tension around privacy, and areas such as medical assistance in dying were changing. The deeper and clearer understanding of the laws I gained from the LLM not only helped me in my role as Chief, but also as a mentor to staff members in tension with legal issues."
