Summary

As a third-year nursing student at Curtin University, I'm passionate about delivering compassionate, patient-centered care. My healthcare journey began in Hong Kong, where I gained nearly a decade of experience as a Patient Care Assistant and Dispenser. These roles honed my skills in patient mobility assistance, personal hygiene care, and medication management, while working through the COVID-19 pandemic deepened my commitment to infection control and patient safety.


My nursing education at Curtin, including placements in aged care and hospital settings, has further expanded my knowledge in patient assessment and care planning. I believe my blend of practical experience and ongoing education equips me to contribute effectively to a healthcare team.


I'm eager to continue learning and to use my skills to make a positive difference in patients' lives, bringing a strong work ethic and adaptability to my nursing practice.
