Kate is currently enrolled in the MScN/Pediatric NP programs at the University of Toronto. Additionally, she is working towards a collaborative specialization in global health at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. Kate has worked as a staff nurse for the past 8 years; her passion for pediatric critical care led her to extend her nursing work internationally.

Kate has assisted in creating sustainable pediatric cardiac surgery programs in Peru, Nigeria, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Brazil, Ecuador and Tanzania. Kate is excited to take this next step in her learning and career. She hopes that in this expanded role, she will continue to be able to touch the lives of children and their families in Canada and abroad.
