The Path Here
Every role taught me something
Every role taught me something
the next one needed.
2010 — 2020
Licensed Practical Nurse → Registered Nurse
Alberta Health Services · Medicine Hat, Alberta
Nearly a decade at the bedside — LPN, Graduate Nurse, then RN. The foundation of everything. I learned what it costs to care for other people, what it feels like when a system is asking more than a human body can sustain, and what it looks like when colleagues who were built for this work begin to disappear under the weight of a system that wasn't built for them.
2015 — 2018
Ability Advisor
Alberta Health Services · Medicine Hat, Alberta
The pivot from clinical care to organizational health. Disability management, return-to-work, union relations — I began to see the systemic patterns behind individual struggle. This role deepened my disability management expertise and gave me a practical understanding of accommodation, complex reintegration, and what it takes to support people through workplace injury with both competence and compassion.
2018 — Present
HR Strategy · Labour Relations · Disability Management
Public School Board · Medicine Hat, Alberta
Seven-plus years leading workforce health in a large, complex, unionized public sector environment. Collective agreement administration, grievance management, duty to accommodate, psychological health and safety, attendance strategy, and the full spectrum of HR leadership. This is where policy meets people — and where I learned what it costs when those two things are misaligned.
2022 — 2024
Regulatory Committee Representative — Registration
College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA)
Governance at the regulatory level — contributing to decisions about nursing practice standards, registration, and public safety for Alberta's 40,000+ registered nurses. This work deepened my understanding of professional accountability, ethics, and the governance structures that shape healthcare delivery.
2023 — 2024
Commissioner → Chair
Medicine Hat Police Commission · Medicine Hat, Alberta
Board governance at the civic level — leading civilian oversight of policing in Medicine Hat. The experience of chairing a quasi-judicial board, managing complex stakeholder dynamics, and making decisions with significant community impact deepened my governance advisory practice considerably.
2023 — Present
Founder
ExecRN Integrative Health Solutions
The integration of everything. ExecRN exists because no single role or credential prepared me for all of it — it took all of them together. The clinical lens. The HR expertise. The governance experience. The personal experience of navigating the very pressures I now help organizations address. This work is the gaps I found in the system — made into a practice.
2024 — Present
Councillor
College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA)
Elected to Council — the governing body of CRNA, responsible for regulatory leadership for nursing in Alberta. A continuation of the governance work and a commitment to shaping the systems that affect nurses' professional lives and the safety of the public they serve.
2026 — Coming
Founder
NervePoint. · nervepoint.ca
A digital platform delivering evidence-informed nervous system regulation tools and psychosocial health intelligence — for individuals in high-demand roles, and for organizations ready to measure what they've never been able to measure before. The Organizational Intelligence Suite gives employers real aggregate psychosocial health data, architecturally protected at the individual level, so the data is actually honest. Built from the gaps I couldn't close any other way.
