Kelsey looks forward to taking part in the Access to Practical Nursing Program so she can transition from a health care assistant and serve her community as a practical nurse.
She’s driven to make a difference in residents’ lives and loves to see them smile.
The passion and drive Kelsey brings to work is also evident in her personal life. She describes herself as a mother, an adventurer and a friend; she looks at difficult situations as opportunities for growth.
Kelsey enjoys being outside in nature, and exploring the area where she lives, whether the mountains or along the river channel.
A self-described “rock hound,” one of her favourite pastimes is searching the rivers for semi-precious stones.
