I am passionate about working with patients from all ages and ethnic backgrounds, offering specialized care to those with severe behavioral problems and mental health challenges such as Alzheimer's dementia, OCD, PTSD, autism, and other developmental disabilities. My extensive nursing education and experience, combined with my knowledge of behavioral science and multilingualism, make me uniquely suited to provide exceptional care and support.
Experience:
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various healthcare settings, including the Perley Health Centre where I worked for nearly five years. In addition, I worked in a psychiatric hospital overseas, focusing on patient intake and education. I have also successfully managed the care of 40 residents in a highly demanding psycho-geriatric behavioral unit, demonstrating my strong resilience under pressure. Effective communication is essential in healthcare, and I have developed excellent working relationships with RNs, doctors, OTs, PTs, PSWs, and other medical teams, ensuring timely and efficient collaboration. As an excellent team player, I value the importance of compassion not only towards residents but also towards their families and PSW staff, fostering a supportive and understanding environment.
