Our Extended Team

  • Steph

    Nurse

    Hi I'm Steph! I studied at RDC and completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2021. I did my final placement in emergency, and have been working there since. I was born and raised in South Africa and moved here when I was 10. To get me through weather that is the opposite of where I was born, I have filled my winters with skiing for the last 25 years (still absolutely terrible). During the summer you may find me cooling off at any body of water that is not a public pool. This summer I am so excited to be working at Restore Wellness. Now I get to bring some of the aspects I enjoy about my career in emergency nursing - health promotion and education.
