I first started Practice Nursing in 1992 while living in Milton, South Otago for five years. When we moved to the Greta Valley in 1997 I took some time off nursing to raise our four young children. I completed a Return to Nursing course and worked at the CACI Clinic in Christchurch for three years as an Advanced Appearance Medicine Nurse and working with Botox and Dermal Fillers and Laser Tattoo removal.

I was lucky enough to begin working as a Casual Practice Nurse at Amberley which developed into a permanent role. I love all aspects of Primary Health Care; in particular Childhood Immunisations, Travel Vaccines and Women’s Health and Trauma Nursing.
