Summary

At the end 2020 I began my career In aged care, prior to that i was a cook at Wests leagues for 13 years. Being made redundant during the C-19 pandemic , i decided not remain in the hospitality industry as it never made me felt fulfilled. I successfully applied for a position working for Anglican Care in the kitchen. I knew if i tried my best and worked hard an opportunity to pursue a career in nursing would come. i found myself outside the kitchen more than being in it interacting with residents & doing everything i could to make there days better. 2022 I was given the opportunity to do a Traineeship as an AIN.

Now in 2025 ive spent the last 3 years working and continuing to study in the area of nursing most recently completing my Diploma in Nursing as a EEN. I am willing to continue my studies , gain as much knowledge as i can to continue helping others. I have found my career path & passion.
