BIO

I graduated from the BSN program at University of Victoria/Aurora College in 2006 and have worked as a Registered Nurse and Clinical Coordinator in many different areas of nursing over the past 12 years.  

​

The majority of my nursing career has been in Canada's north.  I grew up in Yellowknife, NT and consider myself a true northerner.  In 2008, I moved to Iqaluit and worked at the Qikiqtani Hospital.  I have also worked in Alberta at the University of Alberta Hospital but returned to the NWT in 2010.

Over the past few years I have become increasingly interested in my role in nursing leadership.  A few years ago,  I was given the opportunity to take on the role of Clinical Coordinator for a Dialysis unit and Medical Daycare unit at Stanton Hospital in Yellowknife.   I have a 17 month old daughter and after returning to work from maternity leave, I accepted a position as the Manager of Medicine and Outpatient Services, a new challenge for me.    I am currently enrolled in the Masters of Nursing program with Athatbasca University.
