My name is Jan Ibarreta and I’m from the Philippines. I joined ASD in December 2019 as a sub-nurse. Over the years, I have transitioned to a part-time nurse in February 2023 and most recently, I have taken on the role of a full time nurse. Before joining ASD I had my clinical background in Emergency Nursing, Orthopedics, OB-Gyne and Delivery for 10 years. I had a leadership role in the Emergency Department. All of these exposures have equipped me with a well-rounded skill necessary to navigate complex medical situations. It is a gratifying journey for me to transition into the role of a school nurse and as I continue to grow in ASD, I am eager to apply my extensive experience and passion for pediatric care. I am also grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a healthcare organization that values excellence and compassion in students well-being.

My name is Laureen Tordecillas and I am from Quezon City, Philippines. I began working at ASD as a sub nurse in October of 2019 and went on to accept the position as a full-time nurse in ES in December of 2019. I became one of the MS/HS nurses in 2021. Before coming here, I worked as a Community Nurse in the Philippines for 5 years where I assisted in promoting wellness programs and preventing lifestyle diseases of the residents of the community. My clinical experience in a hospital setting which specializes in Medical-Surgical, OB-Gyne, Pediatrics, and Oncology refined my skills and attitude in attending the needs of our patients. Working in a school setting is a fulfilling nursing experience, especially the interaction among students with their health care needs. In addition, our role as school nurses is significant in promoting students’ physical, emotional, and mental wellness to maximize  their potential and capabilities.

I previously served as a school nurse at Doha Academy for four years, and worked at Hamad Medical Corporation and PHCC for two years, gaining experience in triage, vaccination, infection prevention, and urgent care. I support student well-being through daily healthcare, chronic condition management, illness and injury response, and wellness promotion. I am committed to safeguarding, safety, and a caring learning environment for all students.

My name is Prima Vinod, ES Team Lead Nurse. I am from Kerala, India. I began at ASD in 2019 as a nurse in elementary school. Before coming to ASD I worked as a multi-specialty nurse in Aster Clinics - Qatar for 8 years. There I worked in different specialties like Pediatric, OB-Gyne, General Medicine, Dental etc. I am enjoying my work as a school nurse because I love to work with children to ensure their health, safety and wellness. I work in collaboration with the  parents, teachers, counselors, and principals to promote the students' physical and mental wellbeing in school.

Hi, my name is Fatima Alano. I am one of the ES nurses and I’m from the Philippines. I started to work as a substitute nurse in 2019 and became a full time nurse in 2021. Before coming to ASD I worked as staff nurse in one of our local hospitals for 6 years wherein I handled various medical cases and mostly pediatrics. Being a school nurse is how I get to help children. And the biggest highlight for me is knowing that I play a role in their safety and wellness.
