Affiliations
Now, a little about myself. I'm a well-rounded individual who enjoys and values her spare hours with a great show or movie, a walk in the bush, or simply a snuggle from my pup, Dolce. I've always had a natural instinct to want to help, save, or rescue. It's odd, really; until I asked, I assumed everyone was like that! What healthcare workers do must be innate, as it is mentally and physically exhausting, but rewarding work. I love working with patients, hence the move from administration. I'm currently working on my PSW program at Trillium College, part-time and online, so I have plenty of time to work as well. Simply, I am looking forward to getting back in the thick of it. I'm a human being, like anyone else. I do my best and aim for perfection, but we all know such a thing doesn't exist. (But I get as close to it as I can) and look forward to broadening my horizons, and taking on a new role.
