Community Hospice Nurse

I joined Hospice Tairāwhiti in 2025 as a community Hospice Nurse.

I grew up in a rural town an hour away from Seattle, Washington. I moved to Eugene, Oregon USA where my children are still living. I graduated nursing school there in 2014. I have worked in the Oncology Unit and the Observation Unit in the hospital, Operating Theatre, nursing instructor at the nursing collage, and adult and paediatric hospice.

I enjoy learning new things, spending time family/friends, hiking, yoga, cooking, arts & crafts and attempting to play the guitar and ride a mountain bike. Now that the children are living independently, my partner and I were up to a new adventure and moved to New Zealand.
