Summary

I am currently completing my Bachelor of Nursing at Victoria University and am set to graduate at the end of this year. My background in retail has equipped me with strong communication, time management, and adaptability skills, which I am confident will translate effectively into nursing practice. I am committed to delivering safe and person-centred care, and I look forward to applying my interpersonal strengths and clinical knowledge as a graduate nurse within your team.
