As part of her training, she spent four months at Eye Associates of Pinellas Park, Florida where she developed a keen interest in ocular disease and therapeutics. After one year of practice in the Niagara Region, Heing moved west to British Columbia and joined a private practice in North Vancouver.

Dr Bourdeau received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Manitoba in 1997, and her Doctor of Optometry degree in 2001 from the University of Waterloo.
