What do you enjoy about your role and working in aged care?
I appreciate that my role and working in aged care gives me the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. I enjoy that I get to build relationships with residents, their families and the team members. It’s a close-knit community here at Arcare Brighton.  

What is a memorable moment or story you recall working at your residence with either a resident or a team member?
Not a story, but one aspect of working at Arcare that I cherish the most is being able to listen to the life stories of the residents. Whether it be a story of their childhood, a tale of romance or recounting their courageous acts during the war, each story is unique, fascinating and cultivates a new perspective on life.

I enjoy camping, hiking and photography. I find spending time out in the nature is very rejuvenating and also gives me the opportunity to spend quality time with my family and friends.
