Everyday People PNG: Jessica Yawi

My passion for my role and my ability to multitask and demonstrate balance in my work, stem from my mother, my greatest role model.

My mother was the after-hours nursing coordinator at the Port Moresby General Hospital, one of the busiest hospitals in the country. She was passionate about her role, and her family, and was able to maintain a work-life balance. I admire this quality and try my best to apply this to my life.

I come from a mixed parentage of East Sepik and Milne Bay, but have lived most of my life in the city, completing my education in Port Moresby.
