About Me

Welcome!

In this space you will learn about me; my educational background, career growth, family and hobbies. 

 

I am 40, married to my husband Jeff for 12 years and I have a 9 year old daughter. Currently I am the Coordination Advisor for Health Promotion at the Central Regional Cancer Program at Southlake Health in Newmarket, Ontario. 

​

I graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Equity Studies and Diversity. I followed my degree with an Advanced Health Sciences Diploma from George Brown College and was a registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner for 5 years. 

After my daughter was born, I decided I needed a career change so I took the next 2 years to reimagine my short and long term career goals.

​

During this time I learned that career paths are not always linear and change, while hard, is a sign of growth. I realized I wanted a long career in healthcare and so phase two of my career journey began. I truly love the work I am currently involved in and have set my sights on a leadership position in healthcare.

​

I am more than halfway through my Master’s program. From this course, I am interested in strengthening my understanding of foundational health promotion frameworks and explore how they can be applied. I am also looking forward to learning from my classmates about their experiences with health promotion across different roles and settings. 

 

In my personal time, my family and I LOVE to travel. We have travelled to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and most recently travelled to Japan in May. I also enjoy spending time with friends, reading books, cooking and baking.
