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.
