Summary
I am a compassionate and experienced Disability Support Worker with over 5 years of delivering person-centred care that promotes client autonomy, dignity, and overall well-being. I create inclusive, supportive environments and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced settings. Currently completing my nursing studies, I’ve had the opportunity to complete two clinical placements in the Emergency Department, which strengthened my passion for high-acuity care and the dynamic nature of emergency nursing. I bring strong teamwork, adaptability, and communication skills, and I’m always eager to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes.
