Summary

I first started my career in photography, which eventually led me to launch my own business, working from home for over 10 years. However, in 2020, the isolation from the pandemic began to take its toll, so I took a part-time job. This experience made me realise I was ready to return to the workforce full-time. Healthcare had always been one of my top career interests after leaving school, so in 2023, I joined Waikato Hospital as an attendant. This role has since led to a more senior position, which I have thoroughly enjoyed.
