Diversability Caucus Chair - Dejano Duncan

Hi, I am Dejano, excited to be the Diversibility Caucus Chair member! I hold a psychology degree and am pursuing my BScN at the University of Alberta. I am drawn to nursing because this is my way to contribute positively to the communities I belong to and make healthcare changes. As a queer black person, I am particularly interested in working in the LGBTQ and black communities to improve health outcomes among these individuals. Representation in healthcare matters, and I want to do my part to close healthcare disparities in both communities. I look forward to supporting diverse nursing students throughout their nursing program and working directly with nursing schools to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for diverse students. I am eager to get to work and promote positive changes within nursing!
