Summary

I have extensive nursing experience in primary health care and acute adult inpatient settings. I am passionate about accessible health care, preventing chronic disease and promoting quality of life, particularly in the Kimberley, Western Australia where I live with my husband and young daughter. My career goal over the next 10 years is to continue professional development and postgraduate studies towards specialising in Women’s Health. This will allow me to offer a much needed local service during the chronic GP shortage and fulfil my passion of empowering Women in the community.
