A: Passionate, engaged, progressive.
 
Q: What motivated you to join RCCbc? 

A: There are so many reasons! I’ve always been passionate about healthcare, though knew frontline care wasn’t for me.

Q: What has been one of your proudest moments working at RCCbc?

A: I attended my first BC Rural Health Conference this past month and supported the Childcare team. On the last day, one of the physicians mentioned that the access to childcare made attendance possible for them, and it was so encouraging to know that even in those details, RCCbc is striving to support physicians.
 
Q: What do you like to do on your days off?

A: I like to read, make music, sew, or have a local beer at one of the phenomenal craft breweries around town.
 
Q: What one thing we might be surprised to learn about you?
