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

Through my own personal experience I believe I am able to give to others the level of care, compassion and love that was bestowed upon me during my time of need. Drake Medox College has provided me with the greatest opportunity through their Community Support Worker program, with being able 'pay it forward ' and make a difference in this world. Life is about touching the lives of people around us no matter who they are or where they have come from.
