Nurse Practitioner, PhD Nursing Student, Queen's University, Ontario
I am a 4th year PhD nursing student at Queen’s University, School of Nursing. I completed my undergraduate nursing education and my master in nursing/nurse practitioner at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). My PhD research is focused on understanding what it is like to live with diabetes in Liberia. I am particularly interested in how social, economic, political, and historical factors/structures influence the experience of living with diabetes in Liberia. My research interest is fuelled by my experience with global health outreach in Liberia. I am learning how I can use my voice and platform to advocate for policies and programs that support equity-deserving persons living with chronic illnesses.
