Summary
Graduated from Humber College, Practical Nursing program in June 2023. Hired by St. Michael’s IRT in early July. I am fast-learning, hard-working, self-motivated, compassionate, and dedicated when it comes to work. I'm very grateful for all the job I did and clinical placement I attended as they provided precious skills and knowledge that can be applied in any job. I love helping others, whether it be patients or my fellow staff. I enjoy the feeling of being rewarded with my patient's improvement in health. As being an extrovert, I know how to work independently, and I work well with other coworkers.
