I have been in UK for over 12 years, as a general adult nurse, I have been in management for the last 6 years in a mix of roles such as Clinical Deputy and Home Manager with great results!
I am passionate about my job and driven by the love for elderly people which comes from me being brought up by my grandmother!
I become a nurse because my live was saved by a nurse and I just wanted to help others in return.
