Gymnastics career

At the 2011 World Championships, Muntyanu helped Canada place 17th in the group all-around.

[7] After the World Championships, they competed at the 2011 Pan American Games and won the all-around silver medal behind Brazil. They won another silver medal in the 3 ribbons and 2 hoops final, and they won the bronze medal in the 5 balls final. [8] [9]

Muntyanu was selected to represent Canada at the 2020 Summer Olympics alongside Alexandra Landry, Katrina Cameron, Rose Cossar, Anjelika Reznik and Kelsey Titmarsh. [10] The group finished 11th in the qualifications and did not advance into the final. [2] [6]

Medical career

After retiring from gymnastics, Muntyanu was inspired to become a doctor by the knee injuries she dealt with. [2] She graduated from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine and completed a residency in dermatology at the University of Toronto. [11] She worked at the McGill University Health Centre, [12] where she completed a PhD in Experimental Medicine. [11] She practies at the Canadian Dermatology Centre in Toronto and has published dermatology research, including in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology . [13]
