South Islands

My objective is to build on my experience as an active BCNU steward and previously as a steward Liaison by supporting nurses in navigating professional responsibility matters and maintaining professional standards. Over the past several months, I have supported members with grievances, scheduling and professional responsibility concerns, collaborated with LROs, and provided education and guidance to members and stewards. I have also oriented new graduates and nurses across multiple units at RJH and supported nurses with practice concerns. In this role, I hope to strengthen my PRP knowledge, mentor stewards, promote the PR Guiding Principles, and contribute meaningfully to regional planning and decision-making.

I have been a Registered Nurse since 2008 and have developed a strong commitment to advocating for nurses and the delivery of safe, quality patient care. Since 2021, I have served as a union advocate, supporting nurses in addressing workplace concerns and working to create safe, respectful, and harmonious practice environments.

My objective as the South Islands Professional Responsibility Advocate is to build on my nursing and advocacy experience by supporting members and stewards in navigating professional practice concerns. I am committed to fostering collaborative relationships, providing education and mentorship, and helping nurses to understand and effectively use the Professional Responsibility Process in the collective agreement.
