Summary

I am a 65!year old lady who has worked in The Aged Care Industry for nearly 20 years. I have enjoyed many roles. My most recent role is working as a travelling AIN for the Covid Rapid Response Team . I also worked in a remote Nursing Home looking after our Indigenous Elders. I have also worked in Mental Health, Palliative, Dementia, Parkinson’s and HDU units. My love and care for the elderly comes straight from my heart. My love, respect and passion for looking after and learning of the indigenous culture is my passion.
