Summary
Qualified healthcare professional holding a dual degree in Paramedicine and Nursing. Experienced in patient care, clinical decision-making, and emergency response through placements with the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), and various healthcare facilities. Committed to delivering patient-centered care, with a strong focus on continuous professional development, and best practices. I was accepted to commence a Graduate Paramedic Program in the United Kingdom in September 2025; however, following an internal review, the service withdrew offers for all international graduates as of mid-June 2025. I remain eager to apply my skills and knowledge in a new opportunity within the healthcare sector.
