Summary

I am a final-year Bachelor of Nursing student at Australian Catholic University, with a strong interest in mental health nursing and a commitment to providing compassionate, person-centred care. Through my clinical placements in both inpatient and community mental health settings, I have developed a passion for therapeutic engagement and recovery-oriented practice. I bring a trauma-informed and culturally safe approach to care, underpinned by empathy, respect, and a desire to reduce stigma around mental health and substance use.
