I Recently graduated with a bachelors of nursing from UON. I Have worked as a support worker since May 2018. I Have gained the majority of my experience with forensic clients, managing very complex behavior's during times of crisis.
I Have had a keen interest in mental health since 2016 and have pursued further education and job related experience so I would be able to undertake new job opportunities.
I am dedicated, passionate and reliable with an eagerness to learn as much as possible about the mental health field.
