Professional Summary
Having completed my Bachelor of Nursing at Griffith University Gold Coast campus in December 2016, my objective is to secure a position as Registered Nurse in the primary healthcare setting. I am very passionate about global health and improving the health status of communities in developing countries- it is my long- term goal to study my master of International Public Health via distance education with the University of Sydney in the near future. I aim to further develop my knowledge I have obtained at university and through my work as a pharmacy assistant and dispensary technician. It is my goal to become a nurse in primary healthcare whose practice is evidence based. I am passionate about health prevention and immunisations. I would one day like to a part of a movement that will leave a lasting impact on the health of populations. I am eager to learn how to become a better advocate for patients and learn to promote health and well-being around the world, starting in my local community.
