Why did you want to become a midwife? Caring for women and their families in such a special and vulnerable time of their lives is a true blessing. I have always been drawn to helping others, and midwifery felt like the perfect career pathway for me. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care and advocating for women during the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal period. Being a midwife has been the most rewarding career in the world.

I enjoy guiding and supporting our team, driving positive changes, and working as part of a wonderful team. Building relationships with our VMO’s, clients and staff is such a rewarding experience.

From all the wonderful hospital coordinators, managers, admin team, orderly’s and all the staff, there is truly no place like it. It feels like working as part of a family! The history of the hospital is truly remarkable, and makes me feel so proud to be part of this team.
