Inclusion

Inclusion is a big part of my life and has been important throughout all my working roles, ensuring everyone is treated with the same dignity and respect whilst ensuring we are continually empowering them with their own care and goals.

Credibility

Credibility for myself is about continually learning and progressing myself with new learning and educational opportunities throughout my career.

Communication Skills

Communication, I would say is my best asset, I love to grasp a respectful rapport with others and to try to make them feel comfortable and ensure they always feel respected. During my placements at Barwon Health the feedback I received was that my communication skills made both the staff and patients feel at ease and allowed for a comfortable respectful atmosphere.
