Summary

Compassionate, dedicated, and highly skilled Registered Nurse with over 12 years of diverse clinical experience, including 11 years in geriatric nursing and 6 years in primary and community health. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to improving the lives of older adults, supporting them with dignity, empathy, and a genuine understanding of their physical, emotional, and social needs.

I bring extensive expertise in comprehensive patient assessments, chronic disease management, advanced wound and surgical drain care, and health education, enabling patients and families to better manage their conditions and enhance their quality of life. My work is driven by a strong belief in person-centred care, where each individual’s values, preferences, and life story are honoured in every clinical decision.I, continuously refining my clinical knowledge and staying aligned with the latest evidence-based practices. Whether working in the home, hospital, aged care facility, or community setting, I strive to provide care that is not only clinically sound but deeply human, respectful, and compassionate.

My nursing journey is more than a profession—it is a calling to serve, advocate, and walk alongside those most in need, especially our elderly population.
