I am a proud mother of two and an experienced international nurse with valuable Canadian healthcare experience. My journey in nursing has not only equipped me with strong clinical skills but has also deepened my passion for caring for people of all ages and backgrounds. I find great fulfillment in supporting others, whether it’s through providing compassionate care for the elderly or creating a nurturing environment for children.
I believe in the power of teamwork and collaboration. I thrive in working closely with colleagues to deliver exceptional care, and my strong interpersonal skills make me approachable and effective in building positive relationships. My experience across diverse healthcare settings has given me a broad perspective and the ability to adapt quickly to new environments.
My Canadian experience has further enriched my professional growth, giving me firsthand knowledge of patient-centered care in a multicultural context. I am confident that these experiences, combined with my dedication and passion for nursing, make me the right person to contribute meaningfully to any team or organization.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading and continuously learning to enhance both my personal and professional life. I am a caregiver at heart, someone who values empathy, collaboration, and the opportunity to make a positive difference every day.
