Hello, my name is Anamika, and I have been a nurse for about five years. I graduated from Langara College in 2018, and I have been employed with VCH ever since. My past experience includes medical, surgical, orthopaedics, and trauma nursing. Recently, I completed my emergency nursing specialty from BCIT. For the last two years, I have been a proud employee of VGH’s emergency department. I have a strong passion for nursing; and an even stronger passion for ensuring nurses get the recognition they deserve. I aim to bring a strong sense of advocacy to the union, with active frontline experience. If given the opportunity, I would be delighted to take the role of the Regional Treasurer for Central Vancouver. Thank you for your consideration.
