“I did the final practicum of my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in Public Health Nursing and I have worked in the field for four years. I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including with children, families, schools, immunizations and case management of vaccine-preventable diseases. We get intense education in epidemiology, immunization, communicable diseases and counseling. This piqued my interest in communicable disease follow-up. When an opportunity arose to work at Fraser Health, I seized it and I have loved it ever since!
I enjoy the collaborative approach between our Public Health Nursing team, the community, and our interdisciplinary partnerships to reach a common goal. It is also a dynamic, independent role and I love the professional growth it allows me to achieve. It is such a unique experience to be in the epicentre of outbreak management during a pandemic.”
