I have always had an immense interest in how the human body works which led me to study Physiology and Nursing. I have 8 years of experience in the medical research of prosthetic devices ranging from the Cochlear Implant to the Bionic Eye. I also have 8 years of nursing experience, 7 years of which were in Paediatrics and Paediatric Oncology.My past research interests have been in retinal prostheses, preventing blindness and restoring sight to the blind. During the pandemic I was a COVID coordinator for the Bionics Institute. I have recently rekindled my love of the environment and gardening as an outlet from the hectic nature of life. I have a passion for sustainability and biodiversity. This has led me to undertake a number of courses in sustainability and environmental leadership. And as a result of these courses I’ve helped design two community projects: HERBville Glen Eira and City of Port Phillip SEED library. I can’t wait to see where this part of my journey will lead me career wise!
