I bring lived experience of preterm birth and an extended neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
admission, following complications in pregnancy and the birth of my baby at 28 weeks’ gestation. Our family spent over two months in NICU, gaining first-hand insight into the clinical, emotional, and practical challenges faced by families during prolonged neonatal care.
Motivated by this experience, I am passionate about contributing to positive change for
families navigating the NICU journey and advocating for improvements to care,
communication and support systems. I also bring a professional healthcare perspective, having worked as a nurse since 2019.
I am based in Sydney, NSW, and value collaboration between consumers and clinicians to improve outcomes and experiences for babies and their families.
