Yolanda Carmichael

With nearly six years of managerial experience in the postal service, including five months in aged care, I bring strong communication skills and a deep commitment to delivering person-centred care with the utmost respect for patients' dignity. My experience of living and travelling in several countries has cultivated resilience, enhancing my reliability, adaptability, and positive attitude, making me an effective team player. I thrive on challenges and enjoy contributing to a supportive and dynamic work environment where I can make a meaningful impact. I am proficient in essential nursing skills, clinical documentation, patient communication, and using Microsoft Office to enhance healthcare delivery.
