Summary

Accomplished Registered Nurse well regarded for extremely high standard of compassionate patient care with a strong commitment to patient education. The majority of my career was spent at Princess Margaret Hospital in a wide variety of areas. Most recently, I collaborated with a the Tactical Healthcare Response Unit (THRU team) to aid in mass vaccination efforts across the city. This focus transitioned into Covid testing sites and Paxlovid referral centres. This new career opportunity allowed me to showcase my exceptional organizational skills as well as my commitment to interpersonal communication at the helm of a multidisciplinary team. I have a positive attitude and a commitment to continuous learning and growth.
