Summary

Throughout my career, I have worked with the aim of improving health services for health consumers & their families, at all levels.


I have continued with that aim of great service delivery, following my retirement from health, through my volunteer work on the board of an NDIS Supported Living Accommodation for people living with a disability.


I am a hardworking and passionate person ready to return to the workplace in the role of Optical Assistance/Optical Dispenser where, I believe, my skillset can be used & will meet my goals of great service for people.
