Summary

I'm a caring and reliable person with a strong interest in helping others. I recently completed a Certificate III in Health Services Assistance through TAFE Queensland at the Springfield Campus. As part of my training, I completed 80 hours of placement at SCC St Mary's in Raceview, where I supported residents with personal care, mobility, and daily tasks.

Before studying, I spent several years as a stay-at-home mum. This experience taught me how to manage my time well, stay calm under pressure, and care for others with patience and empathy. I'm very family oriented, its a big part of why I value compassion, respect, and connection in everything I do. I'm now excited to begin working in the healthcare field, where I can make a positive difference in people's lives by delivering respectful, person-centred care.
