My name is Kona Williams, and I am Cree and Mohawk. I completed an undergraduate combined honours degree in Biochemistry and Microbiology from Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS.  I received my MD and completed residency training in Anatomical Pathology at the University of Ottawa, followed by a fellowship in Forensic Pathology in Toronto.  I worked as a full-time forensic pathologist and coroner at the Provincial Forensic Pathology Unit before continuing in this capacity at the Northeastern Regional Forensic Pathology Unit in Sudbury.  I am also the Laboratory Medical Director for Health Sciences North.  Research interests include forensic toxicology and Indigenous health.  I hold a 2^nd degree black belt in Karate, and enjoy teaching.  When I’m not doing autopsies or testifying in court, I like to cook, garden and generally live a much more boring life than my patients.
