In China, I was a nurse working in the hospital for 15 years. I enjoyed working in the operation room assisting Dr’s in procedures. I came to Canada and worked in long term care for 5 years and in the community. I really enjoyed working with the Chinese elderly individuals however after moving to Newmarket I made a change to work at New Leaf.
I received my nursing degree when I was still living in China. I received my Personal Support Worker certificate at North American College in 2016.
I enjoy working with the people that I support, communication with them and I feel it is important to make a positive contribution to the lives of other people.
