Registered Nurse

As a nurse, I have spent my entire career advocating, supporting, and caring for my patients.
I have been fortunate to have cared for patients from the beginnings of life inside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit through to hospice and palliative care inside the Rotary Flames House.
I can speak firsthand to the incredible impact of strong, educated advocacy and support in providing safe and holistic care for my patients.

Educator

I have the responsibility and privilege to help shape the next generation of safe, exceptional, and compassionate nurses.

Advocate

Advocating for respectful, safe work environments and fair pay is a role I have, and continue to engage in. I have both the passion and experience to advocate for what I believe in.

Animal Enthusiast

No cat versus dog debate for me – I love them all!! <3

Nature Lover

When not taking advantage of the short drive to our stunning Alberta mountains, you will find me enjoying Calgary’s beautiful river pathways enthusiastically making friends with every dog (and owner) I meet!

Personal Care Promoter

I am an avid reader, competitive board game player, and eager traveler.

World Class Publicly Funded Services

Experienced Team Player

I understand the power and necessity of working together with others especially when navigating opposing viewpoints.

​

As a nurse and educator, I know the importance of asking questions, seeking clarity, and placing one’s personal interests aside to gain understanding and contribute constructively to solutions.

Lifelong Learner

I am motivated by my own lack of knowledge and actively seek out expert opinion and support when needed. 

​

I respect and value the power of evidence, debate, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Disarming Advocate

I believe that active listening, probing questions, and healthy discussions lead to clear understanding and action.

​

I have extensive experience as a committee member and workplace union representative.
