Summary

Passionate and dedicated professional with a broad background in healthcare, customer service, and community engagement. My varied work experience has strengthened my communication, leadership, and organisational skills, all of which I bring into my clinical practice.

I am committed to delivering high-quality, patient-focused care with a strong emphasis on cultural safety and reducing health inequities. I strive to contribute to a diverse and inclusive working environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

As I transition into a junior doctor role, I am eager to continue learning, collaborating within multidisciplinary teams, and serving communities with empathy, respect, and professionalism.
