I have had extensive previous experience with the elderly, working in the cafe in a retirement home and I absolutely fell in love with being a worker / carer.

I am an overseas trained doctor currently working as a phlebotomist at Middlemore Hospital. I used to work at Starship and Auckland City Hospital as a phlebotomist as well. My work experience at Starship Hospital has made me a more compassionate person and enhanced my skills in working with children with disabilities. I love working with them.
