Summary
As a nurse nearing completion of my PhD, I am deeply committed to advancing healthcare through research and education. With a solid background in clinical practice and a profound understanding of patient care, I am eager to make meaningful contributions to the tertiary education sector. My doctoral journey has equipped me with invaluable skills, and I am excited about the prospect of applying them to teaching, research, and clinical practice within an academic setting.
