Summary

I am a compassionate and dedicated medical graduate with a strong belief in kindness as a powerful expression of care. With a background in general medicine and hands-on experience during my internship, I’ve developed solid clinical skills and a deep appreciation for patient-centered care. I have also gained further experience through casual work in a general practice setting, which has strengthened my confidence and ability to support patients effectively. My goal is to serve the Wairarapa community as a General Practitioner and make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. I have passed the OET and am currently preparing for the PLAB 1 exam in August, with plans to pursue NZREX thereafter. I am a reliable team player who is committed to continuous learning.
