Jahnivah Vega

I am currently a student at the Otago Polytechnic studying a Health Bridging Course which is a level 4 pathway course. My aim is to commence the Bachelor of Nursing Degree and completing it in hopes of becoming a Registered Nurse, working specifically as a Mental Health Nurse. I consider myself to be a kind and empathetic person who occasionally enjoys a good laugh. I enjoy building relationships with people both socially and in a workplace, creating trust and an effective environment. I am optimistically passionate about helping aid and communicate with communities both mentally and physically who are different backgrounds and ages or disabilities. I love a good challenge and continue to remain calm and co-ordinated in fast settings.
