I am a bilingual (French/English) nurse epidemiologist and infection prevention consultant. I am passionate about infectious diseases and a proponent of healthcare quality. I am analytical and I enjoy tackling challenging situations. I excel when collaborating with clients who appreciate creativity, innovation, flexibility, and a problem-solving mindset. I am also a transformational leader who loves empowering others to acknowledge their talents and help them achieve their goals. MY WHYAt an early age, while growing up in a country riddled with civil wars and political unrest, where infectious diseases were commonplace in hospitals and clinics, I discovered my love for the fields of infectious disease and public health. I realized back then that I wanted one day to contribute to something bigger than myself and make an impact in the healthcare field. MY WHAT My professional mission is to collaborate with organizations and professionals that need my expertise so we can achieve improvements in our health systems, on a small or larger scale, and promote health, well-being, and patient safety. MY HOW With my training in strategic planning, project and program management, I understand that no solution comes without a deep understanding of the problem at hand and a clear set of objectives. When working with organizations, I conduct an analysis of their IPC programs to identify strengths and weaknesses and I utilize a specific framework to assist them in successfully implementing evidence-based practices in infection prevention and control.
