Summary

Dynamic healthcare professional with a proven track record in Healthcare. Previous education and service within the NHS as a community nurse before returning to Canada. No desire to pursue a nursing career here, Instead I joined Canadian Blood Services as a Donor Associate in Kelowna and worked there until securing a place on the HCA course at VIU. Currently working at Island Health but looking for work as a HCA in Kelowna as I have bought a new home there to be close to my daughters again. I am skilled in critical thinking and effective communication, I adapt quickly to new challenges while maintaining a friendly demeanor. I am committed to delivering high-quality service and fostering positive relationships in diverse environments.
