Summary
I'm a community health worker with a passion for indigenous culture, I spent the last three years of my life living north of British Columbia. I'm currently living and working with a predominantly indigenous community witnessing the hardships and inequality that First Nation people are experiencing. This led me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology to better help the community. I'm a friendly Medical Office Assistant who builds long-lasting relationships with patients. Highly skilled in performing both clerical and medical support tasks. Works independently and maintains superb interpersonal skills.
