“I began my nursing journey in the United Kingdom, where I completed my nursing degree and gained hands-on experience in both hospital and community care settings. These early years shaped my clinical foundation and sparked my passion for patient-centred care.

After relocating to Cape Town, I continued to build on this experience by pursuing further qualifications. I completed a master’s degree in wound care, followed by a certification in lymphoedema management, and a short course in palliative care through the University of Cape Town. These specialized studies have equipped me with a deeper understanding of managing complex care needs with sensitivity and skill.

What has always remained close to my heart is the value of care within the home environment. I strongly believe that healing and comfort are best supported in familiar surroundings, and I’m passionate about making that possible for others.

Currently, I work with CareChamp as a home care assessor, where I design and implement personalized care plans tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to ensure every person receives compassionate, dignified care that truly makes a difference in their everyday life.”
