Feb 2023 - Apr 2023
Completing my 10-week placement at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre gave me exposure to working as a clinical dietitian within a specialist hospital. I was able to provide nutritional strategies and support to patients while at their most vulnerable. This experience helped solidify my passion for working as a clinical dietitian. Building rapport with patients and problem solving to create interventions that were patient centred was a highlight and one of my greatest strengths. The exposure to numerous tumour streams and treatments has provided me with invaluable experience, and working with both inpatients and outpatients allowed me to build supportive relationships with patients throughout their oncology journey. Key responsibilities: - Completing initial assessments, review consultations, and prehabilitation sessions - Working and communicating within a multidisciplinary team, including taking part in discharge planning meetings - Consulting with inpatients and outpatients, using interpreters when needed - Prescribing nutrition support as appropriate and indicated, including oral nutrition supplements, enteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition - Participating in 'Continuing Education' courses on a number of topics including high output stoma management, short bowel syndrome, and neuroendocrine tumours - Completing ISBAR handovers - Day-to-day management of inpatient colorectal caseload. This involved screening the inpatient list daily, triaging referrals, prioritising and seeing patients independently - Participating in total parenteral nutrition round with a senior dietitian and consultant - Managing patients at risk of refeeding syndrome Show less

Dec 2016 - Oct 2017
My dream of having my own womans wear label began when I was 16. I entered VAMFF’s Future Runway as a little challenge for myself and ended up winning. It was after this that I knew the fashion industry was for me. While having my label I did everything from initial concepts, design, pattern making, sewing, photography, social media, managing finances, constructing a look book and line sheet, marketing, running an online store, sourcing fabrics etc. What an incredible experience it was! When an opportunity to work at Diamond Exchange opened up I took this with open arms as it was the perfect job which incorporated everything I loved about the fashion industry. Having my own label was wonderful, but I knew it wasn't the right time to carry the weight of running my own business solo. I was ready for a new career path where I could work within a team and contribute to another business. Show less
