What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote role in patient support, health education, instructional design, or clinical content review where I can translate complex information into clear, accessible content and improve learning, safety, and patient-centered outcomes.

I've delivered patient-centered acute care at Kingston Health Sciences Centre and Cornwall Community Hospital, evaluating patient data, clinical documentation, and medication orders to support safe, individualized care. I also mentored new nursing staff and communicated complex clinical information clearly to patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams.

As a certified teacher with CEPEO, Viscount Alexander P.S., and Kente P.S., I've developed engaging curriculum and adapted instruction for diverse learners in classroom and virtual settings. I'm bilingual in English and French and bring experience with AI tools, health communication, assessment design, digital media, and accessible content development to remote patient support, health education, instructional design, and clinical content review roles.
