Jaime has always been passionate about people and supporting others. After moving to New Zealand, she completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Ara Institute of Canterbury.

She has a special interest in older persons health, alcohol addiction and domestic violence. Inspired by her grandparents, Jaime enjoys working alongside older people, as well as supporting patients through challenging times with care and consistency.

What Jaime values most in her work is building genuine connections. She finds it rewarding to be there for patients when life feels stressful or complex.

Outside of work, Jaime enjoys yoga, painting and spending time in nature.

I love building genuine connections with my patients. It’s a privilege to support them and help them through times of need.
