Bachelor of Science (Nursing)

WA

Hello, my name is Gabby. I am currently in my second year at Edith Cowan University studying a Bachelor of Nursing. I will finish my nursing degree in 2023, however, I hope to continue my education further by completing a degree in midwifery as well as my master’s degree and a PhD.

I have spent most of my life growing up in Perth as well as spending time in the southern town of Busselton. Throughout my life, I have always strived to help people and from a very young age I was drawn to a career in nursing. I hope to use my platform as a queer nurse to advocate for bias-free medical care. I believe that through education of Indigenous, LGBTIQ+, body inclusive, and many other social issues that the Australian population faces, we can reduce health inequality.

I want to thank Rio Tinto and The Pinnacle Foundation for giving me the support I need to continue studying.
