C.V. Resume
Inspiration:
Much of my work is donated to Doctors Without Borders Canada, (MSF). In Lacombe in October, Dr. James Orbinski, gave a speech to a large group of medical professionals. My work was displayed on the overhead power point before Dr. Orbinski’s presentation. I had the honour to introduce him. MSF received the “Nobel Peace Prize Award” in 1999 for Dr. Orbinski work during the genocide.
