I will review the royal alexandra hospital experience during wave 2 COVID and our nutrition support strategies for hospitalized COVID positive patients who were managed on either highflow oxygen therapy or non-invasive ventilation.

She has been practicing as a dietitian in a medical/surgical intensive care unit at the Royal Alexandra hospital in Edmonton, AB for the past 10 years.

Her research experience includes participation in INS, EFFORT trial, top-up PN trial and local research on enteral probiotic yoghurt administration in intensive care. Additionally, she has a strong clinical interest in indirect calorimetry, and her hospital was the recipient of the first QNRG device in Canada
