Summary

As an internationally educated nurse with over four and a half years of hands-on clinical experience in Germany, I am now seeking to contribute my skills and compassion in a Health Care Assistant (HCA) role while pursuing my nursing licensure in Canada. My background includes working in oncology, orthopedic surgery, traumatology, neurosurgery, geriatrics, and COVID-19 units, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in acute care, infection prevention, dementia care, and emotional support.

I am committed to delivering person-centred care that maintains dignity, comfort, and cultural sensitivity in every patient interaction. I thrive in fast-paced environments, work collaboratively within interdisciplinary teams, and communicate effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to your care team as an HCA while continuing to grow professionally within the Canadian healthcare system.
