I am a registered nurse/midwife coming back to Australia after a 15-month stint of working at Christchurch Women's Hospital as a midwife. I am looking to return to Dandenong Maternity, where I began my career, to work alongside my beautiful colleagues, and continue the work that I love. I am excited about career progression at Dandenong Hospital through EPC and Clinic. I am future and career focused so I am always striving to further develop my skills and knowledge. Above all, I am passionate about midwifery and providing outstanding, holistic and evidence based care to women at their most exciting, and vulnerable time.
