Summary

I am compassionate and clinically skilled Registered Nurse with a strong background in both medical imaging and aged care. Currently working in Interventional Radiology at Canberra Hospital, providing high-quality, patient-centred care throughout complex diagnostic and image-guided procedures. Previous experience in aged care nursing involved delivering holistic care to elderly residents with chronic illnesses, dementia, and palliative needs. I am calm and respectful with strong communication skills, and the ability to build trusting relationships with patients, families, and colleagues. I am committed to clinical excellence, safety, and dignity across all aspects of care.
