How will I contribute to improving Indigenous health as a qualified medical practitioner or health worker?

My passion for medicine has been catalysed by monumental life experiences.   I grasped an understanding of medicine in 2020 when undertaking SAHMRI work experience.   I was enlightened to the multidisciplinary teams in medicine and developed fascination for many specialise.   Completing a Certificate III in Medical Business Administration amplified my love for Medical ethics.   I participated in the volunteer opportunity SONY Camp, where I was responsible for the health of a child.  this taught me the importance of inclusive healthcare, deepening my empathy which I used to support.

As a proud Aboriginal woman from the Badimia group of WA, I make family trips to country, connecting with our sacred sights and learning our Badimia language.   I strive to bridge gaps between First Nations and western healthcare, heightening cultural safety.   Becoming a doctor will enable my pursuit in solidifying these ideas.
