It is my privilege to be part of your dying process - let's make it beautiful.
Ko Maunapohatu te mauna
Ko Waikaremoana te awa
Ko Mataatua te waka
Ko Waikotikoti te Marae
Ko Nati Wharepapa te hapu
Ko Nai Tuhoe te iwi
Ko Jayda Taiepa toku ingoa
Originally I was born and bred in Christchurch and moved to Gisborne in 2019 for my partner to be closer to his whānau, and now call this beautiful place home.
I completed my Bachelor of Nursing degree in Christchurch and in 2019 I completed a Post Graduate Diploma of Health Science in Advanced Nursing at the University of Auckland. I intend to continue my studies to become a Nurse Practitioner in Palliative Care. I have always been passionate about quality palliative care nursing and believe it is my 'calling' as a nurse.
I am employed at Hospice part-time as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, predominantly spending my time collaborating with Hospice patients, whānau and staff in aged residential care facilities. I have recently returned back to work after an extended period of parental leave. I look forward to working alongside our community in palliative care.
