Summary
A motivated and compassionate Registered Nurse and Midwife with extensive clinical experience and skills gained across numerous positions. I have provided confident and capable advice and education through all areas of the Artificial Reproductive Technologies (ART) field. I build trust and rapport quickly and easily and have experience working with a wide range of age groups and ethnicities, providing culturally responsive care. I enjoy working collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team but also have the confidence to work autonomously.
