Summary

A highly dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) with a progressive career history in Cancer Nursing, of both a haematology and oncology background which has consisted of long-standing practice in care coordination in a fast-paced, teaching environment. Proven to remain calm under pressure and skillfully handle difficult patients and high-stress situations. Consistently providing a high standard of holistic care in conjunction with the multidisciplinary care team.

I have been working for Cancer Services at St George Hospital since 2013 where I started in Radiation Oncology as a casual RN. 3 months later I commenced a permanent full-time position on the Haematology Unit which included relief work as the Nurse Educator on the unit. In 2017 I undertook a secondment in Radiation Oncology before moving permanently to the Haematology Oncology Day Centre.
