I am the first person in my family to become a doctor. I am on a mission to empower every medical woman in their career.

I graduated in 2015 with Honours and having won several prizes in medical school.

I have been working as an NHS doctor for six years. I have done clinical and research training and currently work as a children’s doctor. In April 2019, I was elected Junior Doctor Representative on the Council of the Medical Women’s Federation, the largest body of women doctors in the UK. In this role I helped engage more junior medical women with the organisation and helped the organisation remain relevant to junior and more senior members. During the pandemic, when the health service was under so much pressure, I wanted to do more to help my colleagues, particularly as women’s careers seem to have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. This motivated me to apply for a leadership role and in April 2021, I was elected Vice President of the Medical Women’s Federation, and am likely the first junior doctor to hold this Office in the 105-year history of the organisation.

In February 2022, to celebrate the organisation’s 105th birthday, I launched The Medical Women Podcast. This venture was my idea and I plan, direct, host and produce the podcast with the aim of supporting and empowering as many medical women in their careers as possible.
