After fifteen years in working in the travel industry, Maureen felt is was time for a career change. She returned to college in 2002 to take Health Information Management.
She completed her student practicum at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and has been with IH for 17 years now.
“During my practicum, I was offered a position in Health Information Management, so my husband and I packed our two cats and moved from New Westminster to Vernon.”
Through the course of her Interior Health career, Maureen has been involved in many projects, providing information crucial to the team.
“When the Polson Tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital opened, I was on site opening day to solve problems and witness the culmination of five years of data support and planning – it was very exciting.”
Maureen is inspired knowing that the information she contributes helps to inform decision-making for the many programs and projects that Interior Health offers, which then make a genuine difference in people's lives.
Maureen was born in Mission, B.C. and grew up on a dairy farm east of Mission. Though she remembers that time fondly, she loves living in the Okanagan with its four seasons and easy access to the outdoors.
“I’m outdoorsy and love being in nature, whether that's hiking, trail running or cycling. I also love traveling to new and far-off places. I'm looking forward to the time when international travel will be safer and my husband and I can go on the cycling trip to Spain that we cancelled at the start of the pandemic.”
