Summary
The journey within healthcare began in high school and has continued to flourish within the industry after graduating from the Practical Nursing program in 2019 from Georgian College.
Through this journey, a strong passion for equity involved organizing Motivational Interviewing training as well as multiple donation drives for non-profit organizations to increase access to resources during winter months.
I have an immense curiosity for healthcare technology, and finding electronic health record's fascinating! EHR platforms include working with include PointClickCare and EPIC. Through this technology, there have been many teaching opportunities with mentoring registered staff on how to use these platforms over the years and has prompted exploration within HealthCare Technology.
