About

Hi! I'm Shelley & welcome to my page.

I've proudly been a registered nurse for 20 years now. I have worked in various roles through the years including operating theatre,, district nursing & dermatology. It was in this role that my passion for all things skin cancer prevention began.

​

I have extra training and qualifications in dermoscopy (skin surface microscopy) to identify suspicious skin lesions and am regularly upskilling through further education.

​

Being a nurse means I naturally care about you - the patient - and what happens to you before, during and after your appointment. Part of what I do is about educating YOU on how to care for your skin and what to look for. I understand the best treatment options available, whether that be as simple as topical treatment to referral to a specialist for surgery. I try to be as affordable as possible to make skin cancer screening accessible to anyone that wants one. This is also so important in NZ where our skin cancer statistics are one of the highest in the world. Ultimately, I am willing to go that extra mile if it means the best outcome for you. 

​

In my spare time, I am kept very busy with my 4 children, hubby and our beagle Blue. I love to be in the kitchen either baking some bread or whipping up a new recipe I've found.
