I’ve always been passionate about midwifery, which inspired my journey to university. Growing up as a South Asian woman, I wanted to show that midwifery is a career anyone can pursue, and that representation matters. The NHS, particularly in maternity care services, often lacks diversity, and I hope to be a voice that encourages others from underrepresented backgrounds to see themselves in this field.
Before studying midwifery, I explored a variety of experiences that shaped who I am. I studied Travel and Tourism and had the opportunity to study abroad in Italy, which I loved, and later worked with children. I also completed an Access to Nursing and Midwifery course, which prepared me to pursue my passion for midwifery. I trained in performing arts, enjoying drama, dance, and music, and took part in acting classes.
I had the opportunity to feature in TV extras roles, such as the CBBC series Jamie Johnson, and appear in Punjabi music videos, Asian bridal shoots, and clothing photoshoots. I also enjoy sports, dancing, going for walks, and visiting the cinema. These experiences have helped me become a confident, enthusiastic, creative, and driven individual, ready to make a positive impact in midwifery and in life in general!
