I have speciality certifications in Sexual Assault Nursing, Forensic Nursing, Maternity Nursing and Emergency Nursing. I have spent the last 3 years nursing in Gerontology and Palliative Care. I was born and raised in the beautiful Creston Valley and have tried to dedicate my career to the people of this valley. I look forward to caring for you and your loved ones in a global aspect of nursing.
I have been a nurse since 2015. I started my career as a Paediatric nurse at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, where I was able to complete specialized training courses in paediatric care. My husband and I moved to Creston in 2021 and built our home here on an acreage. Moving here gave me an opportunity to nurse in long-term care. Now, I work along side the wonderful caregivers we have on our team. I look forward to caring for the people of this community of all ages, and am grateful to provide you or your loved ones with the support and care we all deserve.
I became a Registered Nurse in 2009 and currently work as a Caregiver. Born and raised in Ontario, I graduated from McMaster University and began my career in the hospital setting on a stem cell transplant ward. Over the next 13 years, I worked in various health care settings, including home care, post-surgery care, infusion therapy and dental sedation recovery. For more than a decade, I specialized in oncology nursing (cancer care) and spent most of my career working in a busy chemotherapy department. I also practice foot care privately.
My family and I moved to the Creston Valley in 2022 to pursue a simpler life. I live on a small acreage with my husband and our young son, where I homeschool my son full-time and enjoy our homesteading lifestyle. In my spare time, I like to go curling, play disc golf, eat and cook new dishes, go out with friends, explore the outdoors, and play board games with my family. I am honoured to work with the dedicated and compassionate nurses and caregivers at Creston Caregivers.
