Summary
I have dedicated the last 14 years to building my nursing foundation and skills. I believe in life-long learning and am motivated to take on the challenge of pursuing further education to become a future Nurse Practitioner. My future goal would be to provide holistic primary care support with a focus on mental health.
I believe the Master of Nursing-Nurse Practitioner program will provide the skills and foundation I need in order for me to be an active part of the solution in addressing the lack of primary care support available in British Columbia.
