I am a passionate and motivated Master of Nursing Practice student in my final year at Monash University, looking for a graduate program in mental health to expand my knowledge in the area. I have a lived experience as a sister, daughter and niece of individuals with alcohol and drug addiction and am inspired to work in the rehabilitation and mental health space to provide person centred and trauma informed care to consumers and patients. I look to draw on my skills from my undergraduate degree in Youth Work to provide a therapeutic relationship to patients and my experiences and knowledge gained on placement.
