Career Roadmap

My work combines:

Medicine

Education

Helping People

Day to Day

Although daily I care for typical illnesses, injuries, medical conditions etc, every day is a little different, and I'm always learning something new. I find that assisting with students' mental health issues also factors significantly in my work, in addition to physical health. Many student encounters often include some element of teaching as well.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for everyone

Be willing to work in a position that is probably not your "dream job". Experience and a strong work ethic will help to open up better opportunities for you in time.
