Tylenol PhD Award Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a fascination with nursing. When I was only 9 years old, I attended my cousin’s birth against everyone’s advice.

During this time, I realized how necessary the nursing profession is to the healthcare system and how much it has the potential to propose innovative solutions to the various problems it faces. Therefore, I undertook a master’s degree in nursing because I wanted to contribute ..read more

Tylenol PhD Award My motivation to pursue nursing began as a young adult when my grandmother was admitted into a long-term care home, and I wanted to learn ways to support her complex medical needs.

I value the complex medical needs, personalities, and life experiences of my clients as essential to my nursing philosophy when caring for them, especially those clients with demen ..read more

Almost 20 years later, I could not imagine a different path! Currently, I am privileged to be a Teaching Professor in the Bachelor of Nursing Accelerated  Program (BNAP) at the University of New Brunswick’s (UNB) Moncton site. I have been a mem ..read more
