Administrators
My journey in healthcare began in 2010 as a Medical Office Assistant in a small Northern Alberta community.
Patient care and advocacy is a true passion I have been privileged to foster over the past 14 years through my positions within the primary care system. It is with great anticipation and excitement that I have been given the opportunity to play a vital role in one of the premier Nurse Practitioner Clinics in Alberta.
I look forward to being a part of a solution to the Healthcare Crisis that our province faces and witnessing firsthand the difference that comprehensive accessible healthcare makes in the lives of our patients.
I have a strong background in business development, with expertise in team dynamics, leadership, and customer relationship management.
I am deeply passionate about fostering exceptional experiences for both our patients and our team.
What excites me most is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the healthcare industry in Canada, driving positive change in how high-quality care is delivered.
