What motivated you to become an AHP?
My passion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care is what motivated me to begin my training as an AHP. I love helping people and providing quality primary health care to achieve good health outcomes for our people.
How many clients would you see in an average week?
Around 30.
What brings you the most satisfaction in your job?
Teaching and empowering people to take control of their own health. Helping people in need is a very rewarding feeling. I have made some great relationships with regular clients which is a good feeling too, knowing people feel comfortable and safe accessing health care at a clinic.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Doing some extra study to broaden my skills and experience in this role.
