With many years experience in a variety of different nursing environments, I aim to provide holistic nursing care to all my patients, adapting a 'working with, not working for' approach.
I have a passion for learning new skills and supporting and encouraging other nurses and students to do the same.
I have worked in a variety of roles at Bass Coast Health ranging from case managing in the community as a Transition Care Coordinator to working on the acute and sub-acute wards as well as the residential aged care facilities as either an RN on the floor or an Associate Nurse Unit Manager.
