Biography

I graduated with a BSN in 2000 from Okanagan University College and started working at KGH in mental health that year.  I held a position there for 12 years.  During this time I worked on the general acute mental health floor and the mental health ICU unit managing patient care for a wide variety of mental health needs.  I also provided mental health assessments for the emergency department.  In 2010 I started as a clinical teacher in mental health for the School of Nursing at UBC Okanagan.  In 2011 I was hired as a Full time Lecturer and also started my MSN program here at the UBC Okanagan campus.  I graduated with my MSN in 2017.  While Lecturer I have developed our 2nd year Mental Health in Nursing course, its corresponding Mental Health clinical course, and the Advanced Mental Health elective course offered in 4th year.  I have also started teaching on of the sections of the 3rd year Relational Practice course.  This has afforded me the privilege of learning along with my students the history and challenges of the Syilx Nation delivered by Knowledge Keepers from the Westbank First Nation and designed to promote cultural safety in nursing practice.
