Hi, I am a registered, Masters qualified Intensive Care Paramedic. I was a reserve rifleman in the New Zealand Army, graduating top of my basic training. I have run medical centres in and around Australia doing FIFO contracts, and have been a Lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) as the Cardiology paper leader. I am seeking a pro-choice health care role, either frontline or within education. I believe in advocating for and delivering best practice, as well as basic human rights. I have a great work ethic, and like to have a laugh. I have high attention to detail, am computer literate, punctual and am physically fit. I look forward to hearing how I could fit within a team with the same values.
