Personal introduction

When I was little, I was sure of two things: I wanted to help people and I wanted to be a mother. I considered a career in medicine for years, but midwifery was somehow out of my sights at the beginning. When choosing a career, however, I applied for midwifery at the suggestion of a kind voice. From then on, I focused on it, and over the years I found my place more and more in it. However, I only became really confident when I was able to help give birth to my first baby in my sophomore year. From then on, I knew that this would definitely be my path, and since then I can't imagine myself any other way. My profession has become part of my personality.

I finished my studies at Semmelweis University in 2014. I spent my student years at the Flór Ferenc Hospital in Kistarcsa. After that, I worked for nearly seven years at the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Hospital in the capital. During this time, I gained a lot of experience and confirmation, I was able to share a lot of love with new families. Each time I developed professionally, and I became a bit of a mother myself. The first thing I learned was that the most important thing is empathy and that mothers feel safe. How do they know they are not alone. I believe that the most important thing is not what we say, but how we say it. However, appropriate professional knowledge is essential, so I attach great importance to keeping my knowledge fresh, to development and to the desire to know.

I always tried to create a relaxed atmosphere in the delivery room, to create trust and a bond with the expectant family, so that I could celebrate with them on the way there and at the moment when their child arrives. I can be present with them not only as a professional, but also as a kind of friend. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to stand by mothers of different nationalities and cultures, so I adapt quickly and quickly manage to find a common voice.
