Since 2024, I have been working as a NSWOC at Joliette Hospital. My practice focuses exclusively on wound and ostomy care, supporting both hospitalized patients and healthcare teams throughout the region. I particularly value the professional autonomy, collaboration, and meaningful impact that this specialty has on patients' quality of life.
