With over a decade of nursing experience, Alex had the privilege of working in various capacities, including a pediatric nurse at Surrey Memorial Hospital and BC Children's Hospital. She then expanded her scope to emergency room nursing at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Currently, she is a full-time Lecturer within the School of Nursing at Lakehead University (LU) and a PhD Candidate. Her research focus centers on the experiences of children and families living with congenital heart disease in rural, remote, and northern regions. Alex's passion for nursing and research has always been focused on child and family health. She wants to be able to better support and make positive impacts on children and families living in our community. Outside of work, Alex loves skiing, hiking, and spending time at camp in the beautiful outdoors of Northwestern Ontario.
