I remember my first day at Western and the excitement that came along with it like yesterday. 8 years and 2 degrees later, Western will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you to all the fantastic people I've met along the way. Mustang Forever!

Studying at UWO has been a period of my life that has meant so much to me. One of my big dreams was to wear a convocation gown, and taking pictures with my grandsons on campus. The dream didn't come true but I finally experience a virtual PhD graduation!

My family - especially my parents - can never be thanked enough for their continuous love and support, particularly over the last four years. Without them, I would definitely not be where I am today and I'm so thankful every day for them!

Dr. Beveridge, when I went to your classes back in 3rd year, I always left the room energized and excited about human anatomy. It was an honour to have you as my PI for my thesis project. You're such an amazing supervisor & I hope you know that!

I'd like to dedicate this degree to my parents who have supported me and talked me out of changing programs, my friends for taking weldon staircase breaks with me, my dorm friends during first year who made me feel at home and made it easier to transition.

I want to thank my mom and dad for everything they have done so that I can graduate. Everything from late night chats, rants about homework or when I'm overwhelmed, and teaching me how to live on my own. They have supported me through it all! Thank you!

Ten Years. The story started 2009 and finished 2020: my Undergraduate, Masters and PhD. Sweet memories with melancholic thought. I will never get back to those days but my memory of Western will remain forever.
