Summary

I am a Registered Nurse with 12 years of experience in both hospital and community settings. My professional journey over the past seven years has been specifically rooted in pediatric health.


My background in both nursing and the social sciences has enhanced my understanding of the social determinants of health. This has shaped my ability to provide compassionate care and think critically about social and health programming in our province.
