Summary

I am a compassionate and dedicated registered nurse with experience in orthopaedic rehabilitation and acute cardiology care. I have developed strong clinical, observational, and communication skills while supporting patients with complex physical and emotional needs. My background has equipped me with a calm, person-centred approach, and I am confident in managing challenging behaviours, promoting rehabilitation, and working effectively within multidisciplinary teams. I am now looking to expand my experience in brain injury care, where I can contribute my skills and provide high-quality, dignified support to individuals living with traumatic brain injuries.
