He serves as a Board Member and Chair of the Advocacy Committee for the Canadian Headache Society and is a Scientific Advisor to Migraine Canada. He is actively involved in initiatives aimed at improving access to emerging therapies and enhancing system-level headache care.

His interest in visual snow began during residency, after encountering patients with these symptoms in clinic and recognizing the impact they could have on daily functioning and quality of life. Since then, he has continued to identify and support patients with visual snow in the headache neurology clinic, helping them better understand and cope with these often under-recognized symptoms.
