Summary

MNZAS Audiologist


I am an extremely empathetic person and I am passionate about supporting people so that their voices are heard. I am an extremely hard worker and thrive when working in a team. I was given the responsibility of co-supervising an over-seas trained audiologist within the first month of passing my OSCE and have greatly enjoyed this.

I am constantly studying and learning from my team. I believe that I can learn from every person I meet.
