Summary

I am a friendly and hardworking Midwife Sonographer, qualified in performing obstetric ultrasounds, including fetal biometry, anomaly scans, early pregnancy assessments, cervical length, uterine artery doppler, and placental evaluation. I am skilled in writing detailed, clear, and accurate reports that effectively communicate findings to the multidisciplinary medical team.

With over 15 years of midwifery experience across various NHS maternity settings, I have a strong understanding of fetal development and maternity care pathways. This enables me to interpret ultrasound findings within their full clinical context. I approach complex and sensitive situations with empathy and professionalism, supporting expectant parents through challenging news.
