What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my healthcare expertise while fostering professional growth and contributing to patient care.

As a Foot Health Practitioner at Pods Footcare Specialists, I have honed my skills in biomechanical assessment and treatment, including nail trims and minor surgeries. My role also involves marketing, website management, and financial oversight, ensuring that our services meet the highest standards of public health.

Previously, I served as an Assistant Manager at Pods Footwear, where I managed PR and marketing efforts, trained staff, and engaged with customers. My experience as an Account Manager at The Change PR Ltd equipped me with strong organizational and project management skills, allowing me to handle international client accounts effectively.

With a background in biological sciences and a commitment to continuous professional development, I am passionate about improving patient outcomes and contributing to the field of foot health.
