This career path will ultimately benefit the community around me by providing an essential service through a line of work which I intend to accomplish with skill and enthusiasm. I plan to return to Haida Gwaii for a period of time, if not indefinitely to work in the Queen Charlotte of Massett hospitals to benefit the communities in whatever ways I can.”
