Affiliations
I am experienced both in the field of General Nursing and Intellectual Disability. Therefore I am able to assess service users that need medical attention as well as improving their quality of life in the community.
I am a wife and a mother of three responsible children, ages 21, 17, 15. I am also working fulltime in the hospital set up. Managing my time with everyday life is a a combined challenge, and a blessing from Lord Almighty.
I would proudly say that I have supportive husband to tackle these tasks. With all of these, I can still find time to meet friends for a cup of coffee after an hour walk.
