About
I am a dedicated, caring and highly motivated individual with experience in mental health nursing, aged care and disability services. I throughly enjoy taking on new challenges in a new environment, to provide the highest quality person-centered care. I have experience working closely with adults, children and elderly people who have a range of different physical, social, psychological and emotional needs. My motivation to becoming a social carer comes from having a passion to help and support others and make a positive difference in someone’s life. As a mental health nurse and a carer, I have always found great joy in providing care and companionship to those who need it, and strive to make people feel supported and comfortable in my care. Seeing the difference I can make in someone’s day-to-day life, ensuring they feel valued, listened to, independent and confident, reinforces my passion to care for others.

I see myself as a “foodie” and love trying new restaurants and exciting cuisines. Fitness and walking is a priority for me, and I incorporate these into my daily routine to be the best version of myself and take responsibility for my own health and well-being. Reading fiction and watching movies are my hobbies that help me to relax and unwind at the end of a day. I’m from the United Kingdom, and have been living in Australia for over 2 years. I love the Australian life style, landscapes and adventures that this country has to offer!
