Studies: I began my midwifery career in Ghana after earning a Bachelor of Midwifery from the University of Health and Allied Sciences in 2017.

Career History: From 2018 to 2023, I worked as a Midwifery Officer, gaining extensive experience before relocating to the UK to further my practice.

In 2023, I joined Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a rotational midwife, later progressing to Band 6 after completing my preceptorship in 2025. I currently work a job share as both a triage midwife and a rotational midwife, which allows me to balance my passion for triage with my continued interest in intrapartum care.

Inspiration: My inspiration to become a midwife stems from childhood. While I initially aspired to be a doctor, learning my own birth story — a safe delivery of a post-date, over 4kg baby, thanks to the expertise of a midwife — revealed the vital role midwives play. The compassion and skill of that midwife, who even suggested my local name to my parents, inspired me to dedicate my career to making women feel equally safe and supported during childbirth.

What I love most about my profession: the privilege of witnessing the beginning of life, the joy on families’ faces when their baby is born, and the teamwork that enables us to overcome challenges daily. The ability to return home knowing I’ve made a lasting difference in someone’s life is something I never take for granted.

Recent achievements: Alongside clinical practice, I completed the Professional Midwifery Advocate (PMA) programme at Hull University in 2025, equipping me to provide professional and emotional support to colleagues.

Advice to aspiring midwives: Midwifery is more than a job — it is a lifestyle. To thrive, you must embrace its challenges with vigilance and compassion, remembering that the joy of an entire family often rests in your hands.
