I am a dedicated cardiac nurse with a passion for patient care and education. Holding a Phd, I have spent years refining my skills and knowledge in cardiology, which has enabled me to deliver the highest quality of care to my patients. My journey in nursing began with a desire to make a difference in people’s lives, and over the years, I have found fulfilment in both clinical practice and teaching. Teaching has become another passion of mine, allowing me to share my knowledge with aspiring nurses and healthcare professionals. I am particularly interested in the quality of care, which I consider a vital aspect of nursing. By educating future nurses about evidence-based practices and the importance of compassionate care, I aim to elevate the standards within our profession.
