Summary

Dedicated and compassionate Endorsed Enrolled Nurse (EEN) with current APHRA registration. I have held my qualification as an EEN for 4 years, and have 6 years experience in Aged Care.

Nursing has always been something I’m greatly passionate about, and areas of interest include Aged Care, Palliative Care, and Mental Health.

What I am known and respected for includes drive, professionalism, effective communication and teamwork. I am a very warm, caring and patient Nurse, and believe that advocacy, dignity, respect, and support is something I hold as priority towards those within my care.
