Summary

I am an enthusiastic Registered Nurse. I have a fervent passion to help those with health needs with an emphasis on successful recovery. I specialise in both Older Adults and Mental Health. I have always had an interest in helping people. Nursing has allowed me to apply my passion both in theory and physical form. I have always believed that the patient and their family are essential in promoting positive change. I strive to be the best nurse I can be, continuing to challenge and educate myself which is essential to ensure professional development. My goal is to continue to develop my career with post graduate studies, with intention of becoming a future nurse educator.
