Hi, I'm Manilou, a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse with extensive experience in direct patient care and infection control. I pride myself on remaining calm under pressure and building strong, empathetic relationships with patients and their families. My career has allowed me to work in fast-paced medical environments where patient safety and effective communication are paramount. Aside from nursing, I have a passion for the arts, especially hosting, voiceover work, dancing, and singing, which I have pursued for several years alongside my nursing career. I love traveling, watching movies, and sharing stories with others, always striving to bring warmth and professionalism to everything I do.
