Kirsten has wanted to be a nurse for as long as she can remember. She began her nursing career at 18 and has since worked across a range of nursing specialties, developing a wealth of experience and a genuine love for connecting with patients and their families.
Much of Kirsten’s career has focused on supporting families, babies and children, particularly those who may need extra support. She has a strong interest in women’s health, sexual health and health promotion, alongside hands-on clinical care.
Outside of work, Kirsten loves spending time with her family and friends. With two of her grown children living overseas, she enjoys travelling to visit them when she can. She also loves being by the lake or sea with a good book, walking, hiking and finding a great view from the top of a hill.
