Tēnā koutou katoa. Ko Scott toku ingoa. I’m a level 1 nursing student, I have always wanted to help people who are in need so that is why I chose nursing, and nursing is going to help me get one foot into healthcare.

I have grown up rurally in Taranaki my whole life, growing up on a farm has taught me how to never give up when life starts to get hard and to always try our best no matter what. My number 1 goal in life is to be able to make a difference in someone’s life and to help them have a brighter future.
