Summary

I am a caring and empathetic young woman and have always had a passion for health and well-being. I pride myself on being a diligent nurse with one year of experience providing high-quality care in a Children’s Medical ward and High Dependency Unit. Successfully completing a Nurse's Entry to Practice (NETP) Graduate Program provided me with a great support network and foundational clinical skills as I transitioned into the first year of work as a registered nurse. I enjoy working with children, advocating for them, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I endeavor to continue developing my professional skills and provide evidence-based care for my patients..
