Mosman,Australia
Summary
I am currently working at Royal North Shore Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit, and have previously worked in Cardiothoracic surgery and Neurology. I have extensive clinical knowledge in several different areas, where I adapt promptly to change and enjoy broadening my education and training. I am reliable and driven in all areas of my career and thrive in an active team environment. Transitioning out of the clinical field will be a positive step in my career path and allow me to contribute to changes within healthcare structures based on my clinical experience.
