Work History

Practice Nurse

Karori Medical Centre
11.2023 - Current
  • At Karori Medical Centre, I independently run both acute and pre-booked nurse-led clinics. My role includes delivering immunisations across the lifespan (from infants to elderly), advanced wound care, suture removal, and patient triage. I regularly perform diabetes reviews, sexual health consultations, and venipuncture. I also assist in minor surgical procedures, provide IV therapy through cannulation, and manage infusion clinics — all while maintaining a strong focus on patient comfort, education, and safe practice.

Registered Nurse, Theatre

Southern Cross Hospital
09.2022 - 10.2023
  • I worked primarily in gynaecology, gaining hands-on experience across scrub, circulating, assisting, and third nurse roles. I regularly supported procedures such as hysteroscopies with dilation and curettage, laparoscopic hysterectomies, endometriosis excisions, and vaginal repairs. I also rotated through orthopaedics, urology, general surgery, and ophthalmology theatres. This role gave me a solid foundation in aseptic technique, surgical instrumentation, and theatre flow — all of which sharpened my attention to detail, efficiency, and ability to anticipate a clinician’s needs during procedures.

Registered Nurse Outpatients

CCDHB
12.2021 - 08.2022
  • In Outpatients, I worked primarily across orthopaedics and dermatology. I independently prepared and ran fracture and orthopaedic clinics for three consultants, assisting with wound care, cast application/removal, and vital sign monitoring. In dermatology, I supported both consultant- and nurse-led clinics, assisting with patient assessments and minor surgical procedures, including biopsies. This role sharpened my procedural efficiency, clinical judgement, and ability to provide calm, confident care in fast-paced environments.

Aotea College School Nurse

Tu Ora
05.2020 - 11.2021
  • As the full-time school nurse at Aotea College (1300 students), I managed a dynamic caseload of both acute presentations and chronic conditions. My days ranged from emergency response to ongoing care for migraines, asthma, and PCOS through weekly GP clinics. I worked autonomously while collaborating with social workers and counsellors to provide holistic support, particularly around mental health, sexual health, concussion management, and wound care. The role strengthened my ability to triage quickly, remain calm under pressure, and build trust with diverse communities. I found this work incredibly rewarding and developed a strong foundation in youth health, crisis management, and cultural safety—skills I bring to every clinical setting.

Registered Nurse

Community COVID-19 Clinic
04.2020 - 09.2020
  • Trained in COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swabbing under senior nurse supervision, with additional responsibilities including patient history taking and infection control adherence.

Home care support worker

Geneva
03.2017 - 08.2019
  • Provided in-home support to multiple clients, with a focus on personal cares and maintaining daily routines. Worked long-term with a client with intellectual disabilities, assisting with hygiene, toileting, and maintaining respectful communication with whānau to support holistic, person-centered care.

Babysitting

Self-employeed
02.2015 - 12.2017
  • I have fulfilled babysitting for various private homes, caring for children aged from birth to 12 years old. Duties involve cares and preparing food.
  • Developed strong bonds with families, resulting in repeat babysitting engagements when needed.

Crew Member

McDonalds
08.2015 - 02.2016
  • I worked on batch, fries, and grills, but spent a lot of time serving customers and taking orders, which helped developed my customer service skills.
