Supporting and helping young adults with intellectual disabilities to build confidence, and independence in their daily lives. Teaching essential life skills like communication, problem-solving, and self-care, always focusing on each person's strengths. My work centers on encouragement, patience, and creating opportunities for growth and inclusion.

Worked as a registered nurse specializing in HEMODIALYSIS, providing skills, compassionate care to patients managing chronic kidney disease. I focused on promoting independence by educating patients about their treatments and self-care. In addition, I support the growth of new nurses and staff through hands-on training and mentorship in clinical best practices.

I keep this role on my profile because it shaped my work ethic more than anything else. Maintaining TTC stations gave me a deep respect for the people who keep organizations moving at the ground level. That foundation still guides how I approach effort, responsibility and growth in my career today Worked overnight within Toronto’s transit system supporting station cleanliness, safety, and emergency evacuations. Gained humility, resilience, and a strong respect for public service… and learned that nothing quite builds character like polishing a subway platform at 3 a.m.

I worked as software specialist, and providing technical support to pharmacist. Plus, I trained pharmacy staff at new stores, about how to use the computer program called "Connexus." I helped troubleshoot issues, improved user understanding, and made technology easier and more efficient to use in daily operations.
