My path to becoming a Nurse Practitioner was shaped by a longstanding interest in both science and human connection. After completing my Bachelor of Science and Business with a focus in biology I recognized that my true passion lay not just in understanding health, but in actively supporting individuals through their care journeys. This led me to pursue my initial nursing degree, where I learned to combine clinical knowledge with compassionate, patient-centered care. As I gained experience working with diverse populations across multiple provinces I developed a deeper appreciation for the complexities of health and the importance of accessible, holistic care. 

Advancing to a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner role in 2012 with a completion of a Masters of Nursing allowed me to expand my scope of practice and integrate advanced clinical decision-making to provide more comprehensive support to both youth and adults. My continued post degree education, including specialized training in mental health and addictions, occupational health, liver health and nursing education reflects my commitment to meeting the evolving needs of my patients and striving to improve access to care. Today, my work as a Nurse Practitioner is driven by a commitment to empowering individuals, fostering therapeutic relationships and supporting meaningful, lasting improvements in health and wellness.
