I’ve worked in the health industry for the past 19 years, starting out as a personal carer for 12 years before completing my Diploma of Nursing in 2018. Since then, I’ve been working as an Enrolled Nurse, and I’m currently in my second year of studying a Bachelor of Nursing Science to further expand my skills and knowledge.

I spent 16 years in Victoria working in specialist aged care, supporting people with complex mental health conditions, many of whom had experiences of homelessness and drug or alcohol addiction. I held a leadership role as an afternoon shift supervisor for many years, and later as a unit coordinator for three years.

In 2020, my family and I made the move to Hervey Bay, and I’ve since worked across both residential aged care and community nursing. I’m especially passionate about palliative care and wound management, and I’m committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.
