Im grateful for her understanding with my various technical issues; it could have made for some frustrating and awkward sessions, but it never did. It felt very much like a learning journey we travelled together and I’m grateful for her willingness, patience and time. My Mentee in Saudia Arabia prepared in advance for each session to ensure that she got the most of our time together. She is a reflective practitioner and we spent a lot of time exploring different scenarios and experiences. She was open, participated fully in discussions and asked plenty of questions. Finally I would like to compliment some specific attributes she has: she is warm natured and kind, respectful, confident, assertive and clearly very knowledgeable in her field. I think she’s an inspiring Nurse, leader, woman and mother and I’m sure that she will help pave the way for future generations”
