Registered Nurse focused on care coordination, community health, and healthcare project development.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Nurse with more than 10 years of experience across healthcare, case and utilization management, project development and implementation, care coordination, and clinical assistance. I bring an analytical, patient-centered approach grounded in strong management and interpersonal skills.
My work spans community care, health education, and training for Indigenous healthcare agents. Since 2023, I’ve supported Indigenous healthcare settings, delivering vaccination campaigns, health surveillance, regulations, and guidance that fits institutional and patient needs.
I also bring project and clinical insight from international experience. From 2012 to 2015, I worked as a Project Management Nurse / Utilization Management Nurse, analyzing corporate and epidemiological indicators, performing database analysis to identify healthcare demands, and interfacing with corporate clients. Earlier, I managed company clinical and occupational health services and led a nursing team.
I thrive in environments that value teamwork, quality control, and community impact. I’m currently building on my focus through advanced preparation in Indigenous Peoples’ Health, and I’m motivated by roles where I can combine direct nursing care with education, care coordination, and health program development.
