Hi, I’m Debra!
I live in the sunny Shuswap in a tiny place called Sorrento. I primarily work from home! as a full-time online instructor for Okanagan College in the Health Care Assistant Program. I teach the theory online three days a week. I also have a contract with TRU to teach clinicals for 2nd year BSN students doing their Mental Health Practicum. When not doing those two things, I have a side gig as a clinical counsellor for a not-for-profit organization that runs primary care in Kamloops, BC.
I am privileged and acknowledge that I live, work and play on the unceded territory of the Secwépemc nation. My husband and I live on 5 acres in the Notch Hill Valley of Sorrento. We have a cat named Pip, a dog named Otis and a horse named Cody. I am a wife, mother, sister and daughter as well as a registered Psychiatric Nurse and clinical counsellor.
I am interested in learning and teaching and expanding my skills in the online classroom.
