Summary
Compassionate and dedicated graduate Registered Nurse with a Master of Nursing Practice from Monash University and hands-on experience working as a Personal Care Assistant in aged care. I bring strong clinical judgement, a commitment to person‑centred care, and the ability to build trusting relationships with older adults, including those living with dementia or complex chronic conditions. My experience across acute, community, and mental health settings has strengthened my adaptability, communication, and ability to deliver safe, high‑quality care in fast‑paced environments. I am motivated to begin my nursing career in aged care, contributing to resident wellbeing, dignity, and quality of life.
