Summary

I am a dedicated and determined Registered Nurse working professionally since 2021.

My career began in an Emergency and Trauma Department in Ireland where I remained for 2 years and flourished as Junior Nurse, before moving to Australia.

My love for education makes me increasingly eager to broaden my Medical knowledge and Nursing skills as I journey throughout my career.

Nursing has allowed me to fulfil my passion of caring for others and most importantly has given me a voice. I take the upmost pride in being an advocate for my patients, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met whilst being in my care.

My bubbly and energetic personality helps me thrive when working in a team and is reflected by the meaningful connections I make with my peers and patients.

I am a calm and level headed individual who demonstrates the ability to work in a face paced, demanding environment, whilst remaining calm under pressure and in high stress situations.
Despite the challenges i will face day to day, I hope to strive into the best version of myself and Nurse I can possibly be.
