Looking for my next
opportunity
to make a change. 

I’m a Registered Nurse (RN) with ten years of work experience at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS). I graduated from the Practical Nursing program at Mohawk College in 2011 and began my nursing career as a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) on the Stroke Rehabilitation Unit of the Hamilton General Hospital (HGH) in 2012. My studies continued shortly after and I completed the RPN to BScN Bridging Program at McMaster University in 2015. My career as a Registered Nurse began on the Cardiac Surgery Unit of the HGH in 2016 which opened up many doors for me in the fields of Research and Health Informatics. Presently, I am in a contracted full-time position as a Clinical Informatics Specialist for the Health Information System (HIS) Project currently underway at HHS. My passion for research also led me to a recent opportunity as a part-time Nurse Research Collaborator for McMaster University with the SMArTVIEW randomized control trial that took place at the HGH. During my career, I have already learned that the nursing profession is filled with many great opportunities but in order to really make a change in healthcare, a leadership position is required. As a result, I decided to dive back in to the world of academia and to begin a Masters of Health Studies through Athabasca University in 2021. With the increased importance of the digital world today, the role of this portfolio is to introduce myself digitally as a Nursing Professional, and to establish a professional digital identity.
