Summary
As a dedicated student at the Michener Institute, I am on track to complete my studies in December 2024 while gaining valuable experience as a skilled Anesthesia Assistant through my clinical practice at University Health Network (UHN), Women’s College, Mount Sinai, and Scarborough Health Network (SHN) hospitals. With 17 years of nursing experience at The Hospital for Sick Children, I have developed strong leadership skills as a bedside nurse and clinical support nurse, which has allowed me to join the code blue team, support new staff, and enhance patient care. My expertise in pediatric critical care, as well as pre- and post-anesthesia care delivery, enables me to excel in teamwork and communication, ensuring high-quality interdisciplinary care. Proficient in airway management and adaptable to fast-paced environments and new challenges, I am committed to continuous learning and exploring new competencies and team dynamics.
