Summary

I am looking forward to a career which combines my passions of Indigenous, paediatric and tropical health. I bring relevant skills to this position, including practical skills, extensive cultural training, and rural work experience. Having grown up in Far North Queensland, I'm familiar with both the challenges and rewards associated with working in regional and remote communities.
