I was born and raised in Aberdeen, Scotland. Growing up, I was always around the world of fertility and maternity care. When I was about 14 years old, I knew I wanted to become a Midwife. While studying for exams, I came across the word midwife. After lots of research, I realized that everything made sense. I had discovered my passion and future career!

My path to midwifery...

I studied for 3 years in Scotland to achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in Midwifery. I rotated between out of hospital and hospital maternity units, including pre and postnatal wards, labour ward, NICU, early pregnancy advice center, community unit/homebirth and induction units.

There are many things I love about being a Midwife but my favourite thing is witnessing the incredible strength and resilience of women while, at the same moment, they’re realizing just how incredibly powerful they are. I love empowering and educating women with the latest evidence and knowledge to make the right decision for themselves and their families.

My philosophy about birth is that it is a natural and instinctual event. I believe that every woman deserves to feel in control of her own body and feel supported in her birthing journey.

Beach or mountains? Definitely mountains. I miss being surrounded by beautiful hills and mountains from my home town. One of my biggest hobbies is to explore and hike trails with my daughter, husband and our two dogs.
