I have more than two decades experience as a Registered Nurse, specialising in care of the critically unwell individual. I have worked within intensive care, critical care and inflight nursing services.
In my role as an inflight flight nurse, I am responsible for the specialist care and monitoring of an individual during repatriation flights. This includes nursing those with catastrophic illness and injury.
In my career, I have also been responsible for the nursing leadership and oversight of a team of domiciliary carers, providing support and assistance to people in their own home. This includes children with complex needs.

I am an experienced Registered Nurse that has had the privilege to care for people times of greatest need. Having worked in critical care environments for the majority of my career, I have developed and fine tuned expert skills in critical care nursing. This extends to caring for individuals during repatriation flights when a person has become unwell or injured overseas.

In my spare time, I enjoy salsa dancing, socialising with friends, reading and playing padel.
