Registered Nurse (RN)
With 16 years of experience in community care, I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with a strong background in managing complex chronic health conditions and providing holistic care to individuals in the community aged care sector. I graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Western Sydney in 2008, and I hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment from Plenty Training (2020).
Throughout my career, I have developed extensive clinical expertise in areas such as continence care, pain management, mobility and falls assessments, medication management, wound care, and dementia care. I have also played a key role in educating others, having trained care workers and carers in basic clinical care, manual handling, and medication management. My experience includes serving as a preceptor to nursing students from the University of Wollongong while working with Hammondcare.
In addition to my clinical work, I hold certifications in various training qualifications, including:

I am passionate about giving back to my local community. In addition to my professional work, I have volunteered as a First Aider with St John Ambulance, served as the church secretary for St John Greek Orthodox Church Parramatta, supported community initiatives through St Therapon Greek Orthodox Church Thornleigh's COVID Hamper Program, and organized events such as OPA at The Gong 2017.
With a strong commitment to both healthcare and community service, I am driven to continue making a positive impact on the lives of those around me.
