Victoria works across multiple Tend clinics in Christchurch. She is a practice nurse at both Tend Beckford and Tend Waltham.

Victoria’s career began in support roles, where she gained nine years of caregiving experience and worked as a Healthcare Assistant (HCA) for 4 years before becoming a registered nurse. Before moving to Christchurch, Victoria spent a year working across the Tend Tauranga clinics.

Victoria finds great fulfilment in building meaningful relationships with her patients. She values being someone patients can trust and turn to, especially during vulnerable moments. Her goal is to make people feel supported, heard and empowered at every stage of their health journey.

I enjoy interacting with patients, establishing a connection and supporting an environment that makes the patient feel comfortable and culturally safe. Supporting a patient in whatever they need.
