Summary

As a highly passionate registered nurse with seven years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care to every patient I encounter. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive expertise in fast-paced and high-pressure environments. I thrive in these situations and have honed my communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. I am a true team player who believes in a collaborative approach to healthcare, and I am committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for patients and their families. Above all, I am driven, motivated, and always eager to learn more, and I am committed to continued growth and success as a registered nurse. I have experience working in countries such as New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Singapore. Each of these countries have helped me gain valuable skills, adaptability, cultural sensitivity and awareness, that I bring to all my rolls. I am especially passionate about mental health, emergency medicine, and positive work cultures.
