About me
Hi, I am a credentialed mental health nurse with almost 20 years of experience in a variety of settings and roles. I am passionate about professional development and the well being of our workforce.
I value respect and collaboration, and strongly believe that clinical supervision is essential to all mental health workers.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, going for walks and listening to music.
During my supervision sessions, l use a reflective model and draw on previous experiences for future learning.
