Veenita was inspired to become a nurse after helping care for her grandmother following a stroke when she was just 11 years old. Encouraged by her grandmother’s belief in her caring nature, she went on to train at the Fiji School of Nursing and has built her career around providing compassionate, holistic care while continuing to grow her clinical knowledge.

Her areas of interest include chronic disease prevention and management, men’s health, Māori and Pacific health, women’s health and mental health and wellbeing. Veenita is passionate about reducing health inequities, supporting early intervention and empowering patients to take an active role in their health and wellbeing.

What she enjoys most about working as a clinician is building meaningful relationships with patients and supporting them throughout their healthcare journey. She values the opportunity to make a positive difference through education, advocacy and compassionate care.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her dogs Max and Nala, walking along the beach, gardening and travelling. Veenita also values opportunities for ongoing learning and professional development.

I love being able to support patients in a way that helps them feel safe, respected and genuinely cared for.
