About Me.
I am a Registered Nurse with 18 years of clinical practice in multiple emergency departments within the Fraser Health Authority. I have held various clinical nurse educator and clinical resource nurse positions over the last 10 years, as well as continuing to practice as a bedside nurse in several emergency departments. I have recently audited the Simulated Trauma Resuscitation Update Course and Advanced Trauma Life Support courses, and believe that every day presents countless opportunities for learning and personal growth.
I am a mother of 2 wonderful kids, a wife, a twin, a glider pilot, and a sailor. I love to travel and am also an avid practitioner of yoga and skier in my down-time.
