Mrs.Sirisegaram-Cole ( pronounced sir-REES-sir-GA-rum- Cole) has recently moved to Orillia and is already in love with the community and the city. Her desire to join OMAH stems from a long history with the arts. In addition to formal training in Carnatic vocal music and Classical Indian dance style bharatanatyam, Abby holds an HBSc in Biology and Psychology, BSc in Radiation Medicine, and is currently working on a MSc in Organizational Leadership through John Hopkins University.
Professionally, she is currently working at the Cancer Centre at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie as a radiation therapist. She has a number of publications and oral presentations that speak to her high level of engagement and commitment in innovation and quality improvement. Previous Board experiences included the Research Ethics Board @RVH, Talk is Free Theatre @Barrie, and the Alumni Association @The Michener Institute for Applied Health Science, Toronto. In her (somewhat limited) spare time, Abby enjoys time outside with her spouse Colin and two young boys Richard and Rohan. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences, supporting, and contributing towards the wonderful work at OMAH.
