I am a compassionate nurse dedicated to caring for others' well-being and am specifically passionate about caring for elderly and marginalized populations. I am considered a senior team member in the ICU at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, often being sought out for opinions on patient care, team dynamics and leadership roles. The critical care environment has not only taught me how to think critically and respond quickly in emergencies, but it has also given me insight into the many issues that can arise within the homes of the patients who eventually seek treatment in the hospital setting.
