Michèle describes her progression from working as a registered nurse in Canada, to working for Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) abroad, to now going back to school for a Masters of Public Health degree at the University of British Columbia in Canada. She describes the benefit of consolidating her skills working in Canada first prior to working abroad in both Haiti and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following these two deployments, she decided to return back to Canada to complete her degree in Public Health. She explains why she chose to do this degree and what she’s learned so far. We’re excited to hear where her career will take her next!
