Summary

Final-year nursing student with a strong passion for mental health, inspired by two clinical placements in psychiatric settings. I’m drawn to the depth and complexity of mental health care, where empathy, advocacy, and human connection are essential. I’m seeking to begin my nursing career through the St. Vincent’s Mental Health Graduate Nurse Program—a service that aligns with my personal values of compassion, justice, and excellence. I aim to develop into a skilled, reflective, and person-centered nurse who supports individuals through their recovery journey.
