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 chose Drake Medox not only as the waiting period was shorter compared to other colleges but it was recommended to me by some of my friends. I am already huge advocate of Drake Medox College, not for the referral benefits but because of the good quality and hands-on teaching environment that I had experienced during my time as a student. I am now more confident in applying all that I've learnt to my current role and have Drake Medox to thank for that.
