I am a registered international midwife with 6- years of working experience committed to providing high standard of midwifery care, public health care/education and social care creating a welcoming environment for women and their families.
I have worked in various healthcare settings including a 20-bedded maternity unit of a secondary facility and currently in community care where I have the opportunity to work in various aspects of midwifery care; antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal.

Throughout my career, I have had the chance to work with patient populations from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This has enabled me to acquire a strong cultural competence and adaptability both of which are very important in providing care to patients in a new environment.
