Show more info Hide more infoI am a registered nurse with extensive experience across acute healthcare settings, including orthopaedic nursing, surgical care, patient education, and clinical leadership. After many years in hospital environments, I am delighted to return to community nursing, where I can combine my clinical expertise with a strong passion for supporting people to maintain their independence, health, and wellbeing in their own homes. I value building meaningful relationships with participants and their families, working collaboratively to deliver compassionate, personalised care that meets individual needs. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, painting, and being outdoors – especially on the water.
