Summary

I have now stepped back from an incredibly successful and enjoyable Nursing career. It has rewarded me with amazing experiences and a vast amount of knowledge.

Luckily, the work ethic and comprehensive set of skills I have acquired are transferable and give me an advantage to adapt to most situations. More recently relishing in the diversity of retail.

I am able to work alone and in harmony within a team. My personality and sense of humour create a positive environment.

My collateral interests share common links with many aspects of health and well being whilst remaining client-centric. A part of life I continue to be captivated and passionate about.
