About

I have always been passionate about advocating for my family, friends, and even strangers. Helping others solve problems and achieve their goals brings me great satisfaction. Making a positive impact on people’s lives is deeply rewarding to me. I am naturally compassionate and a good listener, which allows me to easily connect and communicate with others. I thrive under pressure and can manage multiple tasks simultaneously. I consistently adhere to legal and ethical guidelines, including the Code of Conduct, Quality Standards, Health and Safety regulations, and Human Rights. I am also mindful of maintaining professional boundaries, as I believe they are essential in building trust and fostering respectful relationships with clients. I am passionate about learning something new every day. I regularly read studies on healthcare and wellbeing, as well as articles on science, nature, nutrition, and the mindset of modern society. I also stay updated on political and social news. Furthermore, I am currently studying Individual Support, as caring for others in a professional capacity is something I deeply value. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Communication, which has allowed me to develop strong verbal and non-verbal communication skills over the years. My natural empathy has further enhanced these skills, enabling me to connect with others on a deeper level. This has helped me to be patient, understanding, and responsive to clients' needs, while also providing emotional support when necessary. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, cooking, and engaging in creative activities like arts and crafts. I also love going for walks and playing billiards. Additionally, I enjoy meeting new people and participating in social activities. I am currently studying the CHC33921 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) at TAFE, which enables me to stay current with industry standards and training opportunities, ensuring I am always enhancing my skills and knowledge. With over a year of experience in the aged care sector, I have gained practical experience in assisting clients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and feeding. I’ve become adept at managing chronic health conditions and monitoring vital signs. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of the importance of person-centered care, allowing me to tailor my support to meet the unique needs of each client—whether it’s providing help with daily tasks, managing health issues, or offering emotional support when it’s needed most. I have developed a strong understanding of age-related conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and mobility challenges, and I’ve learned how to deliver specialized care for these conditions. Throughout my time in aged care, I have honed my communication skills, working effectively with both clients and their families, and collaborating within a team of healthcare professionals to provide holistic care. I’ve also grown more adept at staying calm in emergency situations and thinking on my feet. This role has taught me to be highly organized, manage my time effectively, and balance the physical and emotional demands of the job. I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients through both everyday challenges and more difficult moments, including palliative and end-of-life care. These experiences have strengthened my emotional resilience and deepened my sense of compassion. Through my work and ongoing studies, I continue to evolve as a professional, committed to learning and adapting to industry best practices. Above all, I find great personal fulfillment in making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I care for.
