Summary
I am a motivated and self-driven person who loves a challenge. For the last nearly 4 years I have been working in the Medical Assessment Unit at Waipapa Christchurch Hospital. This can be a fast pace and at times a challenging ward with a diverse range of patients. I am a person that has great time management, self initiative, attention to detail and I find myself thriving when I have a routine. I enjoy working alongside others as a team and also can handle working alone when needed.
