Summerland Point,NSW

Summary

With a 15-year track record as a hardworking and dedicated professional in the hospitality industry, I have consistently thrived under pressure, going above and beyond to create unforgettable guest experiences. My strong work ethic, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and customer-oriented approach have enabled me to deliver prompt and friendly service to all customers, even during peak hours, while maintaining a positive attitude and a great sense of humour.

In addition to my diverse background, which includes 2 years as a real estate receptionist, I am currently transitioning into an Enrolled Nursing role. As a dedicated nursing student, I am committed to being an attentive and focused healthcare professional. I have had the opportunity to put my passion into practice during my 6 weeks of hands-on experience in various patient care environments. This includes aged care at Lake Haven Masonic Village, mental health emergency care, and acute geriatric care at Wyong Hospital.

My unique blend of experience allows me to bring a multifaceted approach to patient care, combining strong interpersonal skills with a growing medical expertise. So far, I have been successful in quickly building rapport with patients and families, and I am highly proficient in patient care, assessments, medication administration, and health education.

I am eager to learn more and dedicate myself to helping others and improving their daily lives. I look forward to bringing my diverse skills and passion for care to my future role as an Enrolled Nurse.
