Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate nursing student with a lifelong passion for working with children, aspiring to specialize in pediatric intensive care. My extensive experience in childcare has shaped my ability to connect with young patients and provide empathetic support to their families. Additionally, I have a background in customer service that has equipped me with strong communication skills, enabling me to effectively interact with diverse populations and collaborate within multidisciplinary teams. Eager to deepen my clinical learning, I am seeking opportunities to gain 1-on-1 hands-on experience in pediatric care settings, contributing to high-quality patient outcomes and preparing for a successful nursing career.
