I am a registered nurse and a certified diabetes educator. I have served on the national executives of both the Diabetes Educator Section of the Canadian Diabetes Association, and the Canadian Diabetes Educator Certification Board. I have a proven track record of effective patient education, continuing education workshops, diabetes education program development and evaluation, and health-related research. My extensive experience and expertise as a nurse and health educator in inpatient, outpatient, pediatric, long-term care, and native community settings allow me to provide a comprehensive, innovative course for health professionals wanting to learn about diabetes education. My clients include major pharmaceutical companies, Health Canada, and tribal councils.
