Summary

As a young and proud Pasifika individual, I come from humble beginnings, where the values of service, community, and care have shaped my purpose. Growing up in a Pasifika family, I have always felt a deep responsibility to give back and support those around me. Nursing has given me the opportunity to do just that—caring for people with compassion, cultural understanding, and a commitment to holistic well-being. I bring resilience, critical thinking, empathy, and a strong work ethic to everything I do. My passion for nursing drives me to approach challenges with determination and a commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care. I take pride in my ability to adapt, communicate effectively, and collaborate with healthcare teams to support the well-being of patients. My eagerness to learn and grow in this field has shaped my journey toward becoming a Registered Nurse, and I am confident in my ability to make a meaningful impact in healthcare.
