Summary

Through my ongoing tertiary and postgraduate studies, as well as exposure to various situations through both Emergency Ambulance experience on-road and in the Control Centre, I have gained the maturity and confidence to undertake high levels of responsibility, make clinical decisions and adapt in high-pressure environments.

I have a friendly personality, am easy to get along with and continually strive to learn and gain more knowledge and skills in my roles. I ensure to remain competent and up to date with all procedures and policies and am determined to do well in everything I do. I am approachable and as a Peer Support Officer, play a highly supportive and empathetic role in the ASNSW. I am well regarded in the workplace for my contribution to the team.

As a newly certified Nutritionist I have a strong passion for promoting health and wellbeing through personalized, evidence-based nutritional guidance; committed to empowering individuals to achieve their wellness goals and lead overall healthier lives.
