I am a dedicated professional with over 5 years of experience in community and public health, recognized for my expertise in patient support and interdisciplinary collaboration and attention to detail as well as provision of comprehensive learning environment for adult students. My achievements include: delivering quality care to a diverse population of patients, including new immigrants, and facilitating effective communication among healthcare teams, teaching, supervision and clinical management.
