Summary

I have a strong health and administrative background of twenty one years which has developed my knowledge of different systems and shown my proven ability to learn these quickly. Over the years, I have built my knowledge and experience across varied roles working as a collaborative team member with effective communication. I am compassionate and empathetic with strong organisational skills. My career as a Paramedic for fourteen years built my resilience, challenged me, and allowed me to think on my feet in stressful situations.
