Summary

I am a highly motivated and compassionate person, with a desire to take on new opportunities and enhance the lives of elderly people living with dementia. I may have no direct professional experience working in aged care; however, I have the right mindset and heart to care for residents as if they were my own grandparents. I have the willingness to learn and develop my knowledge; I have done extensive research and currently completing a self-paced course on dementia.
