Hello,
Welcome to my website and to my world. Since retiring from being a Registered Nurse, I've devoted much of my time to writing in a variety of genres, including children's stories, memoir and travel writing.
Sometimes it's interesting to know about an author's professional background, so here it is.
Professional Background
Public Health Nurse / Educator / Marketing / Business Development
I began my nursing career as an outpost nurse on an isolated Indian Reserve in northern Manitoba. I then returned to Ontario as a Public Health Nurse and Visiting Nurse in a variety of capacities.
I retired as the National Director of Health & Wellness for WeCare Health Services:
- I supported nurses in 50 offices across Canada
- I wrote numerous nursing manuals, marketing brochures and proposals
- I was the national spokesperson for my company related to home and community care, including palliative care, workplace wellness, immunizations and aging at home
- Media training set me up for appearances on TV, cable, radio, YouTube and speaking engagements at conferences.
