Name: Kailey Stuart (she/her/hers)
Job Title: Computer Technical Support 2, Virtual Care
Years of Service: 7
Worksite: Royal Inland Hospital (but works remotely)
Community: Kamloops
Ancestral Territory: Secwépemc Nation
Favourite Quote / Advice to live by: “Be curious, not judgmental.”

Described by her colleagues as approachable, people oriented, and a good communicator, Kailey Stuart, computer technical support 2, Virtual Care, at Interior Health (IH), aims to make her colleagues’ lives a little easier through her work in technology.

A natural problem-solver with a strong creative streak, Kailey was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as an adult. But she doesn’t let that hinder her work or personal projects and, despite its challenges, feels neurodivergence has enriched her life in many ways.

“I like to think of ADHD as my superpower,” she says. “Don’t get me wrong, there are a LOT of downsides, but those can be managed. Having ADHD makes me think differently than others, which means I'm often able to find creative solutions to problems. Hyperfocus is also pretty cool when it’s used for good; I can sit down and focus on a task for hours and hours without breaking focus.”
