Summary
I am a passionate and driven 20-year-old seeking a meaningful career in paramedicine, where I can make a real difference in people’s lives during their most critical moments. With two years of university study in psychology, I have built a strong foundation in understanding human behavior and mental health—knowledge that is vital in high-stress emergency situations. Living with type 1 diabetes, which I manage with discipline and care, has given me a unique, empathetic perspective on patient experiences and the importance of quality care. My professional background includes frontline experience as a mental health support worker and leadership as an administration manager in medical clinics, where I developed strong clinical coordination, crisis response, and communication skills. I am ready to bring my real-world healthcare experience, academic insight, and unwavering commitment to helping others into the dynamic and rewarding world of paramedicine.
