What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, patient-centered clinical role where I can apply my maternal/neonatal expertise, research experience, and commitment to continuous quality improvement and patient education.

I am a dedicated midwife and nurse with over a decade of experience across public and private healthcare settings, focused on maternal, neonatal, and primary healthcare. I combine clinical practice with research experience to deliver comprehensive care, patient education, and wellness services.

My background includes roles in maternity wards, primary care, locum nurse practitioner work, and research at a perinatal HIV unit; I bring skills in newborn resuscitation, antenatal/postnatal care, ARV initiation, ultrasound, immunization, and patient counseling, and I seek to join a team that values quality patient care and continuous improvement.
