CDCES, BLS

I am engaged in may physical activities, walking, swimming, yoga, line dancing and skiing in my spare time. I enjoy a good book, like to cook as well as socialize and I paint with acrylic paints on canvas for hobby. I know a few words in French and more in Spanish although not bilingual. In hospital setting a translation service was used for accurate translation for education.

I am very involved with my family and grand children.

I have recently returned to New Brunswick and plan to spend most of my retirement here.

Have many friends and family with a great support system, looking forward to continued contribution to others in the Nursing  profession.
