Summary
For the past 11 years, I have built a diverse and comprehensive nursing career across aged care, general practice, and perioperative environments. My experience in aged care has strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, person-centred support while managing complex, chronic health needs and promoting residents’ dignity and wellbeing. In general practice, I have developed strong clinical assessment skills, wound care expertise, immunisation competency, and the ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality primary healthcare. My perioperative nursing experience has further advanced my technical knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to safety, ensuring effective patient preparation, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative care. Across all settings, I bring a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a genuine dedication to delivering safe, respectful, and evidence-based nursing care.
