I enjoy new challenges and providing the best possible care for my patients. I am great at patient education and answering any questions. If I don’t know the answer to your question I am very good at out-sourcing to find the answer. I believe you never stop learning new things.
I am currently studying my Div 1 to improve my knowledge and patient care.
I have two young kids at home and live local in Wallan.
I am an easy going, bubbly person.
After caring for a family member back home in Ireland for two years, it piqued my interest in healthcare. I emigrated to Australia in 2015 and worked as a care worker in aged care and went on to study my enrolled nursing. Following qualification as an EN, I worked in South Australian public hospitals, everywhere from the chaos of the emergency department to the peaceful atmosphere of palliative care. I then went on to study my registered nursing and made the move to general practice. Although not local to Wallan, I enjoy getting to know the local community.
Outside of work I am the mum to 1 adult child and 1 young child and consider myself to be very friendly and bubbly.
I am Maria, a Registered Nurse with 18 years of experience, specialising in General Practice since 2008.
I genuinely love what I do and feel privileged to support people through their health journeys. I am passionate about providing holistic, patient-centred care, taking the time to listen, understand each person’s needs, and build trusting relationships.
I am approachable, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where patients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns. I believe in working together to find practical and realistic ways to support each person’s health and wellbeing.
I also enjoy helping patients navigate the healthcare system and connecting them with the resources and services they need to achieve the best possible quality of life.
Supporting people to feel their best and be the best version of themselves is something I am deeply passionate about, and it is a privilege to make a positive difference in my patients’ lives every day.
