I have developed a strong work ethic, adaptability, and commitment to patient care from my 8 years in allied health. I am flexible and open to relocation across Queensland to pursue my goal of becoming a qualified paramedic. I am applying for the Graduate Paramedic Internship Program to build on my healthcare experience, contribute to my community, and further develop my skills within the Queensland Ambulance Service.
