Rachel Gomel – Secretary
Rachel’s commitment to PSC Partners began in 2008 when she attended her first PSC conference. Her career had been centered on academic research, but when PSC sadly appeared in her family, all her passion and drive shifted to PSC. In her 17 years volunteering for PSC Partners, she founded the PSC Partners Patient Registry and continues to lead it as Registry Director.
Rachel has been involved in other major PSC Partners initiatives. She serves on the steering committee of the PSC Forum, supports relationships with biotech and pharma, and led PSC Partners’ participation in the Rare As One initiative. She serves on both the PSC Partners and the PSC Partners Canada Board of Directors.
Rachel holds a Master’s degree in English Literature, and her Ph.D. (in Philosophy of History, Comparative Literature, and Literary Criticism) from McGill University earned her three Canada Council awards. Pre-PSC Partners, she was a researcher, advised and mentored college-bound young people, organized self-help workshops and conference series, and created programs to support single moms with special-need children.
Her husband, three children, seven grandchildren, and her PSC Partners family are the centre of her life.
Matthew Hodgson – Board Member
Matt joined the PSC Partners Canada Board of Directors in 2025 after becoming involved with PSC Partners Canada as a patient and then later as a volunteer. Matt has first hand experience with PSC, receiving his diagnosis as a young adult in 2015.
Matt’s professional background includes a series of business development roles with both small and multinational companies. His experience extends into the world of start-ups and entrepreneurship, co-founding multiple businesses. Matt holds a Bachelor of Commerce and MBA from the University of Alberta. He’s currently the Director of Advisory Services for a boutique Canadian advisory firm specializing in the valuation and mergers and acquisitions of independent pharmacies.
After learning of his PSC diagnosis in his early 20s, Matt found PSC Partners to be a tremendous resource for understanding the disease and quickly became a participant in the Patient Registry. Matt began volunteering with the communications team for PSC Partners Canada in 2022 and expanded his volunteer role through the ZoomRoom peer sessions as well as the 2023 and 2024 PSC Partners Annual Conference. Matt is passionate about patient participation in academic and clinical research to further the search for a cure.
