About

Bonjour!

I’m Jacqueline, a researcher and educator specializing in environmental and medical education, with a particular focus on the interplay between individuals and their surroundings.

I currently work at the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine as part of their Family Practice Residency Program, where I’m exploring the nexus of healthcare delivery and community dynamics. In 2026, I will graduate with an M.Sc. in Translational Health Sciences from the University of Oxford. My dissertation focused on medical students’ perceptions and experiences with artificial intelligence, examining how future physicians understand, engage with, and make sense of emerging technologies in medical education and clinical practice. This work reflects my broader interest in how healthcare systems can better anticipate future needs, support learners, and design technologies that are ethical, practical, and responsive to the people who use them.

Alongside this work, I created the Wellness Tracking Framework, affectionately known as WTF, a personal health and lab-tracking tool designed to help people organize their lab results, symptoms, medications, timelines, and questions for future appointments.

WTF was developed from a simple idea: people should be able to make sense of their own health information without feeling overwhelmed, dismissed, or lost in the system. The tool is not intended to diagnose or replace medical care, but to support reflection, preparation, and clearer conversations between patients and healthcare providers.

During the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, I participated in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Covid-19 Challenge Global Hackathon where I connected with Dr. Aisha Liman. It was through that event that we later co-founded the Primary Compassionate Care Initiative (PCCI), headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria, a dedicated public health program designed for practical training, mentorship, and coordinated outreach.

In 2026, Dr. Liman and our team launched the PCCI hub which serves as a home base for our programming, with a welcoming meeting and teaching area for small-group sessions, a flexible workspace for planning and partner coordination, and a setup that supports confidential conversations and coaching with learners and women in the health system.

This initiative is aimed at advancing Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 5, through comprehensive public health mentorship programs and initiatives focused on the empowerment of women within the healthcare landscape.

Dabbling in an array of outdoor activities, I’ve plunged into Norway’s Arctic depths alongside orca, I’ve climbed waterfalls in a single bound, and slid down snow-covered mountain tops. These experiences enrich my personal journey and deepen my understanding of the interplay between humanity, vulnerability, and the natural world.

When out in the woods, I love building structures out of sticks and doodling small avian creatures. My work has previously been shown at Smith & Vallee’s The Birds: Annual Bird Invitational and at The Art Box.

Feel free to drop me a line if you’re interested in collaborating on a project.
