Summary

I am an undergraduate nurse from QUT with a desire to extend my skill set in the Mental Health sector set prior to graduating. After recently completing a placement on G-floor, I am highly inspired to pursue a career as a Mental Health nurse. I have experience in providing daily living support and focusing on specific client needs to optimise care. I have good organisational skills with a hardworking mentality and a caring approach.
