I started by doing a gap year in England when I was 18 and worked as an outdoor activities instructor. Then back to Dunedin and trained to be a nurse, and worked as practice nurse, surgical nurse and an ear nurse (glorified ear wax remover). Q And now you’re in the UK – what have you been doing over there? I moved to London to work as a freelance florist, and really struggled to get work initially. I was able to get work in care homes, which became the epicentre of the pandemic in Scotland, and it has been a challenging five months.
