“I would like to see foot care education to begin in early childhood. I would like to see more research being conducted regarding foot care barriers and facilitators in order to develop best practices. There is a need for a more collaborative environment amongst all disciplines involved in the provision of foot care.”

“I want to positively impact government policy related to provision of foot-care services for individuals at risk for poor foot health, such as seniors and individuals with chronic disease, so they can maintain health, independence, and quality of life.”
