Queens Court recognised my capabilities and supported me to pursue my dream to become a nurse! I achieved my goal and graduated as a fully fledged nurse in 2019! I would like to thank sincerely our General Manager, Shaaron Caratella and the Queens Court Team for all their support during my career progression. 

Having joined Queens Court in 2019 I have developed many skills and am beginning to feel ready to look to other aspects of my career in particular leadership training. I love my job, looking after people and helping them be the best they can be is what inspires me the most! Apart from nursing I enjoy sports, the gym and I practice mindfulness and yoga. I'm really passionate about music and dance and quite often perform for our residents which is fantastic!
