Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate second-year Bachelor of Nursing student with a strong passion for improving the quality of life for the disabled, sick, and elderly. I have developed valuable experience in various aspects of nursing across acute hospital settings, disability support, and aged care. With strong interpersonal skills, patience, and a commitment to delivering high-quality care, I seek a role in a hospital, aged care facility or home care where I can continue to learn, grow my career, and positively impact people's lives. My goal is to empower individuals physically and emotionally, ensuring they receive the best possible care and support.
