Summary

I am a compassionate Midwife, about to complete my graduate year at Logan Hospital in which I have spent consolidating my skills and knowledge in all areas of midwifery care including Antenatal, Birth Suite & Postnatal. I would bring a high level of work ethic and dedication into my role, striving for excellence and practising with accountability, integrity, respect and cultural safety. I would work in collaboration with women and their families, empowering them to make decisions whilst providing safe and individualised midwifery care. I would love to be a part of a multidisciplinary team that I know shares these same values and strives to deliver evidence-based, women-centred care.
