Summary
I have a wide range of experience and currently care for palliative clients but wish to develop my skills further by specialising in the area of palliative care. I am highly motivated, hard working and passionate about advocating for people in my care. I have excellent communication skills and build rapport with my clients easily. I work well within a multidisciplinary team and find collaboration is essential to providing exceptional care for our clients and their loved ones.
