For years, I've helped children, youth, and adults discover their purpose through my I Can Soar and G.A.T.E. programs. Along the way, I met international nurses — brilliant, compassionate, deeply called to care — who were being held back by one barrier: speaking hospital English with confidence.
They knew the medicine. They knew the vocabulary. But they froze during OET role-plays, struggled with IELTS writing, and felt small in English-speaking clinical teams. I built My Purpose Works to change that — pairing clinical English mastery with the confidence and identity coaching that turns qualified nurses into hired nurses.
Most tutors teach generic medical English. I teach nurse-specific clinical fluency — layered with family, faith, and identity coaching.
Admissions, handovers, pain assessment, medication, discharge — not generic healthcare English.
Medical English for the nurse + foundational English for their child (ages 8–14) migrating abroad.
Optional faith track — devotionals, identity, and confidence woven around the nursing calling.
I solve the problem behind the problem — nurses who know the words but freeze when speaking.
I help nurses pick the correct exam the first time — because choosing wrong wastes months of preparation and thousands in fees.
Healthcare-specific. Real patient dialogues, referral and discharge letters, ward instructions. Favored for UK (NMC) and Australian (AHPRA) registration. Many nurses find OET writing and speaking easier because it mirrors their real daily work.
Broader, cheaper, more widely available. The safest universal choice for the U.S. NCLEX pathway. Ideal for nurses keeping multiple country options open or targeting the American market.
Certified coach helping professionals discover calling, overcome impostor syndrome, and step into new chapters with confidence.
Trusted faith leader — able to serve faith-oriented nurses in the Philippines and Nigeria through the optional Called to Care track.
Founder of I Can Soar and G.A.T.E. — proven curriculum design across children, youth, and adult learners in multiple countries.
