Living Well with Disability Training

I have lived with a spinal cord injury for over 33 years. I know the realities of using a wheelchair and meeting the daily physical, mental and emotional challenges. Fortunately, I have met those challenges to lead a full life.

I am also a registered nurse. As Patient and Family Education Coordinator at Craig Hospital for 18 years, I have assisted patients and their families in learning the important details of living with disability. I bring strong personal and professional knowledge and experiences from both sides of the bedrail to patients, caregivers and healthcare workers.

Disability Focus:

  • Healthy Lifestyle with Disability: Skin, Bowel, Bladder and Sexual Health
  • Adapted sports and recreation
  • Disability awareness and sensitivity training
  • Caregiver and healthcare professional training
