About Me

I am a compassionate and reliable Personal Support Worker with a strong foundation in both clinical care and scientific methodologies. With my background spanning from a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology to hands-on PSW certification, I bring a unique analytical and caring perspective to resident health.


During my 300-hour clinical placement, I developed a deep proficiency in assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), managing safe transfers, and providing specialized dementia care. I pride myself on maintaining strict infection prevention protocols and delivering care that respects the dignity of every individual.
