Sarah Tamayo - Drake Medox College Instructor

HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT (HCA)

Sarah immigrated to Canada from the Philippines in 2016, where she helped manage her family’s pharmacy business. Inspired to pursue a career in healthcare, she became a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in 2018 and has since worked as a Charge Nurse in a Behavioural Support Transition Neighbourhood (BSTN) within a long-term care setting.

As an instructor, Sarah is passionate about sharing her clinical knowledge and real-world experience to help students build confidence and succeed in their healthcare careers. She values compassion, respect, teamwork, and lifelong learning, and strives to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, developing new skills, and growing both personally and professionally.

Sarah believes that “when we inspire learning, we inspire possibility.“

Success Story

I had a fantastic experience at Drake Medox College, as I found the instructors very knowledgeable, the quality of the training rooms to be so realistic to actual facilities and the Drake staff incredibly helpful and friendly. I now feel more than capable of taking the right steps to achieve my goal in becoming a health care assistant and building a great career for myself...I would recommend them to all my family and friends. I now look forward to starting a new and exciting career. Thank you Drake Medox College!
