What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further my nursing skills while making a meaningful impact on patients' lives.

I am a committed and loyal professional nurse with a Bachelor of Social Science in Nursing from the University of the Free State, completed in 2019. My journey in nursing began with a community service year at Maphutha Malatjie Hospital during the COVID-19 outbreak, where I honed my skills under pressure and developed a strong passion for helping others. Following my community service, I worked at Mediclinic Bloemfontein in various wards, including Surgical and Orthopedic, and currently serve as a scrub sister in a day hospital's theater.

In addition to my clinical experience, I have pursued further education, completing the SACLC lactation consultant course in 2023, which has allowed me to start a side practice assisting mothers and babies with postpartum and breastfeeding challenges. I am a highly motivated, people-oriented individual who values strong morals and principles, and I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those I care for.
