Maria Dalton, MSc.

Raised in quiet Prince Edward Island, Maria brings her unique rural insight to all the work she does. Currently, a Clinical Research Coordinator with the Libin Cardiovascular Institute's APPROACH Research Group (Dr Wilton, Dr James) and Person-Centered Methods lab (Dr Sajobi), the work she is involved in investigates the role of patient-reported outcomes and experience measures in cardiac care, seeking to improve clinical care. 

She is passionate about community/patient engagement, teaching, and mentorship, and her research interests include healthcare system improvement, complex chronic illness, geospatial analysis, scientific misinformation and public health. 

Outside of the research sphere, Maria works as a freelance sports photographer with significant experience covering both national and international speed skating, skiing, and university sporting events. When she's not working or researching, Maria loves spending time outside being active - be it on her skis or on her bike
