Summary

I am a motivated and caring final semester Enrolled Nursing student with a passion for working in an acute hospital setting. In addition to my studies, I have over two years’ experience in customer service roles in retail. I have experience educating primary aged children through an OSHC program and, most recently, have had the opportunity to assist clients in the community and with their activities of daily living as a NDIS Support Worker. I am ready to use my up-to-date skills and knowledge in my new career as a Graduate Enrolled Nurse.
