Summary
Passionate Clinical and Psychiatric nurse graduated in 2018. After graduation I worked as a nurse for six months. Then I decided to get a master's degree in Adult Education in order to improve my skills to work with minority communities. I focused my thesis on making the healthcare more accessible to people. I graduated with high honours in the summer of 2021. During these studies I still worked as a clinical and psychiatric nurse. After my master's I started working in a mobile team giving psycho-social support to people in Brussels. I'm very flexible, communicative and a real team player. I am very committed to health care and concerned about vulnerable communities. I can provide WWCC, NDIS-clearance check and Police check.
