Outcome / Impact
I have worked with ethnocultural and diverse populations in clinical and community settings. Every person has a story to tell, and these narratives are valuable sources of resilience and strength to have a voice. These narratives shape knowing and experiences through an interpretative and inquiry-based approach to adapt and embrace new knowledge and effective practices. It is crucial to co-develop self-management and health promotion activities through patient engagement in care and self-determination with clients and caregivers. It is critical to utilize vital partnerships for promoting sustainable connections and fostering optimal professional relationships for co-creating foundations in comprehensive cancer care.
