About
With a robust background in nursing and healthcare, I have accumulated extensive experience across various roles, including Registered Nurse and Donor Care Officer. My career began as an Enrolled Nurse at Netcare, where I honed my skills in patient care and support. Progressing to a Registered Nurse, I have worked with esteemed institutions like Life Healthcare and Melomed Private Hospitals, focusing on patient care, medication administration, and team collaboration to ensure optimal outcomes. My role at SANBS as a Donor Care Officer involved phlebotomy procedures and donor education, emphasizing safety and infection control. I hold a Diploma in General Nursing from Netcare Education Colleges and have furthered my expertise with certifications in NIMART and CPR. Currently, I am expanding my knowledge in data science, aiming to integrate technology with healthcare for improved patient care solutions.
