She talks of working in children’s nursing and her passion for the roles she has undertaken and the rewards of nursing including the opportunity to make a difference when children and families are in difficult spaces. She talks of her commitment to family centred care, pursuing a masters and PhD and her career progression and how she won scholarships and made international connections. |
