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

Drake Medox College has provided me with the learning experience that I need to start my career as a successful Activity Worker at a long-term senior facility. I have achieved my goal of changing my career from a Care Aide to an Activity Worker, as I was able to find a full-time job one month after I graduated from the Drake Medox College. I would highly recommend the Activity Assistant Diploma program to anyone who work in the health care industry.
