Work- Life Balance
The gaps in my employment history are due to my maternity leaves; I have three young children. Mothering itself is a full-time job, and lends itself to an array of transferable and valuable skills. From time management, organisation and multi-tasking, to communication skills, patience, compassion and working under pressure; becoming a mother has helped me to be a better doctor in many ways!
As I have a young family currently I am working LTFT in order to achieve a work-life balance that allows me to optimise all areas of my life- personal and professional.
