Kimberly Fleck, Registered Nurse, Founder Shyft12 Strategies for Healthcare Professionals From Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Kimberly Fleck is a nurse with over 12 years of clinical experience across Emergency Medicine, Public Health, Pharmaceuticals, and Patient Support Programs. She’s never been one to stick to the beaten path when it comes to her career. Like so many nurses, Kim knows what it’s like to struggle to get noticed or break into a dream role. Instead of settling, she created her own strategies to stand out, turning herself from just another name on a resume into the top candidate. These same strategies have shaped her success as a Field Case Nurse Manager and now as a Career Coach, helping other nurses take control of their careers. Kim thrives on connecting with people and empowering nurses to be more than just spectators in their job search. She helps them network, get noticed, and land roles that truly fit their skills and values. Outside of work, she’s all about traveling, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with her two amazing kids, who inspire her to stay positive and keep pushing forward. Kim’s mission is simple: to help nurses take the "no, you can’t" moments and turn them into a loud, confident “YES, you can.”

Laura Torres Caro is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Málaga (UMA), Spain, where her research bridges the fields of Medicine and Literature. Her PhD thesis is uniquely centered on her own published novel, The Girl of the Mental Stop. Do not miss the train (Torres- Caro, 2023), which serves as a foundation for her investigation into her personal experience with a neurological illness after many years of a coma state that was diagnosed with considerable delay. This innovative approach allows her to explore the interplay between narrative and neurological conditions, contributing to the growing field of illness narratives and the role of personal storytelling in understanding the lived experience of medical conditions. Laura's academic journey began with English teaching studies at Maria Inmaculada (CAMMIA), Spain, followed by a master's degree in bilingual teaching from Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid. Her expertise in bilingual education has been applied in various educational settings, including seven years as a teaching assistant in the United Kingdom. Since 2017, she has been actively teaching English in various Spanish schools, where she combines her pedagogical experience with her deep understanding of language acquisition. Beyond her novel, Laura has published two chapters in scientific books that delve into her interdisciplinary research, with a third chapter and a scientific article currently under review. Her scholarly work reflects her commitment to combining personal experience with academic inquiry, using her unique perspective to contribute to discussions around delayed diagnosis and neurological conditions in the context of literature and education. Her research offers valuable insights into how personal narratives can inform scientific understanding, particularly in the realm of patient-centered care and medical humanities, particularly in how personal narratives can illuminate scientific understanding of memory, neurological disorders, and patient-centered care.
