Coordinator, Critical Care Education
Winnipeg Regional Health Authority

I began my career in critical care in 1990 after completing the collaborative Adult Intensive Care Nursing Program at St. Boniface Hospital (SBH).  My expertise and passion for critical care flourished over the following eleven years, while working in the surgical intensive care unit at SBH.  I then had the opportunity to combine my critical care expertise with my passion for teaching, as I took on an educator role for ICU and post-anesthesia care unit and then became an educator for the adult intensive care nursing program.  I feel very blessed in my nursing career and recently have taken on a new challenge in the role of Coordinator, Critical Care Education with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.  I obtained my certification in critical care and I am currently pursuing my masters. 

I have been involved with CACCN Manitoba Chapter at the local level since in 1996, as a conference planning committee member, previous conference planning chair for our local conference and recently served as President for three years.  I have frequently attended Dynamics and Chapter Connections over the years. 

I have a strong belief in forming a strong unified voice for Critical Care Nursing, patients and their families.  I feel very passionate about Critical Care Nursing and have worked hard at increasing our visibility, promoting CACCN membership and advocating on behalf of patients and families.

I would find it a privilege to work with such a dedicated group of individuals on the National Board.
