Summary

Compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with over 7 years of experience in adult intensive care. Originating from a background in complex home care, I bring a holistic and person-centered approach to nursing. My critical care postgraduate training has equipped me with advanced clinical and leadership skills, allowing me to confidently manage staff and complex patients in a high-pressure environment.

I believe nursing is a vocation and I am excited to join a new team here in Australia to continue my journey as a passionate caring nurse.
