Caitlin has background in acute and perioperative nursing. She completed a Bachelor of Nursing, Post Graduate degree and is currently completing a Masters Degree in Nursing.

Caitlin joins us in our 1st Chapter of a new mini-series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes will feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.
