Tina Campbell, BsN, RN
I am an Indigenous woman of Cree ancestry and lived a majority of my life in Nunavut. My passion for TB work started in 2010 as a nursing student during a summer placement at a TB clinic. With rates of TB being 290x greater than southern Canada - my learning and experience grew fast. I became a RN in 2013 and continued work as a TB Nurse for 6 years where my main roles were case management, contact tracing and surveillance. I then worked as a Territorial TB Educator for a year where I provided training, orientation and TB education to staff. I heavily advocated for cultural orientation for every health care professional providing TB Care, which focused on learning the historical events regarding TB and the Indigenous population. Since September of 2019 I have been in the TB Advisor role for Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA).
