Summary
I am a dynamic and compassionate Nurse Aid with over 25 years of experience in the health industry, both in New Zealand and Tonga. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others—whether in my family, workplace, or community. I always strive to give my best in everything I do. The highlight of my career was providing full-time care for my mother for eight years in Tonga, where I gained invaluable skills in working under stressful situations, with limited resources. My strong work ethic, adaptability, and dedication to helping others continue to guide my professional and personal life.
