Amaris has been a nurse since 2009 and has practiced in BC, Alberta, before finally moving to the Yukon in 2017.

With practice spanning from outreach and harm reduction, medical psychiatry, to high acuity and now management, Amaris has had the pleasure of experiencing the diversified role a nurse can have in a single career. 

Understanding that nurses can have incredible impact, Amaris has moved her focus and passion to supporting the growth of nurses, their voice and their practice within the local, territorial, professional and ethical spheres of life.
