BROOKE RAMSEY

14 Matthew St, Happy Valley,SA

Summary

I am a highly dedicated and passionate graduate midwife seeking to start a fulfilling midwifery career. This will enable me to utilise the skills, clinical knowledge and experiences I have gained to provide the upmost care and support to empower women during their pregnancy journeys. I am eager to positively contribute to a dynamic healthcare team, using my abilities to provide a safe and nurturing environment to support women throughout their care. With 6 years’ experience as a child and infant swim instructor I have developed valuable leadership, relationship building, communication, problem solving and critical thinking skills. I have a strong consideration and empathy for others whilst being able to appropriately self-regulate my emotions.
