Delaney grew up on a cranberry farm in Ladner, BC, complete with its own brewery and more dogs than people. After switching from waders to skates, she moved to Lethbridge to play varsity hockey and complete a kinesiology degree. She then continued on to Calgary to pursue a master’s in exercise oncology. She stuck around Calgary for medical school when she realized she wasn’t quite ready to give up prairie sunsets or Stampede breakfasts. After 11 long (but character-building) years in Alberta, she’s thrilled to finally be back in BC—coming home to the coast, the mountains, and the dream of never shovelling snow again.
A self-proclaimed Spikeball underdog, Delaney is most at home cruising down (not up!!) hills on a road bike or being outnumbered by the many dogs on the family farm. She’s passionate about emergency medicine for its variety and team environment, paired with a growing interest in how palliative care principles can be meaningfully applied in acute settings. She hopes to combine her love of travel and cycling with a bikepacking adventure across Europe sometime soon—ideally somewhere with good cafés, better roads, and no headwinds.
