Dominque Duquett, PhD RN CHPCN(c)

​​

Dominique is a French-speaking, queer, cisgender woman of European descent who grew up on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, on the territories of the Mohawk Nation. She is grateful to now live, learn, and play on the traditional and unceded lands of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen/ lah-kwa-ngun ) Peoples.

Over the past decade, Dominique has been practicing palliative care nursing at Victoria Hospice on the inpatient unit, with the Palliative Response Team, and as a Clinical Practice Educator. Alongside her clinical work, she has been teaching and learning with the University of Victoria’s School of Nursing while completing her doctoral degree at the University of Alberta. Her research focused on the interpretation of quality-of-life assessment tools in palliative care. 

In her personal life, Dominique feels blessed to be a friend to beloveds and a mother to dazzling adult daughters. She savours slowness, beauty, and rituals.
