| My name is Monica Fernandes, and I’ve proudly served as an Emergency Room RN for 15 years. I bring a deep understanding of frontline care and strong work ethics. I am someone who shows up, follows through, and never backs down when it comes to doing what’s right. Throughout my journey as a union advocate, I have remained steadfast in my values, reliability, trustworthiness, and knowledge. I’ve been honored to sit at the bargaining table, advocate for critical wins like preceptor pay, and ensure that our voices are heard. I am passionate about our union and fiercely dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of every member. My leadership is rooted in transparency, collaboration, and a relentless drive to build a stronger, more empowered workforce. I believe in the power of unity, and I am committed to continuing the fight for fair treatment, safe working conditions, and the respect we all deserve. Together, we are stronger—and I am ready to keep leading that charge. I’m committed to continuing this work with the same dedication and drive that brought me here. Together, we’ve made progress—and together, we’ll keep pushing forward. |
