Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate Midwife/Registered Nurse with many years of experience providing exceptional care to women, newborns and families.

With 23 years of dedicated experience in a specialist women's hospital, I bring a wealth of expertise in providing comprehensive care to women across various stages of their reproductive journey.

My career has been characterised by working with antenatal, postnatal, gynaecological, and oncology patients, providing a commitment to holistic healthcare delivery.

Throughout my career, I have cultivated strong clinical skills through hands-on experience and ongoing professional development. This has allowed me to work effectively in many areas of the hospital and competently provide exceptional care.

Working in a specialist maternity hospital has given me exposure to cutting-edge medical technologies, best practices, and research-driven approaches, enriching my knowledge base and enhancing my ability to deliver evidence-based patient-centred care. I have also used this knowledge to mentor and educate students, graduates and new staff.

I practise open communication, empathy, and cultural sensitivity to ensure individualised care respecting diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I am committed to empowering women with knowledge and resources to make informed decisions and confidently navigate the transformative journey of pregnancy and childbirth.
