Amina qualified as a midwife in 2019, having entered through the Nursing pathway. Amina has 8 years of clinical Nursing and Midwifery experience. She has worked in a variety of settings, specifically on Delivery suite, antenatal and postnatal wards and the midwife led unit. She has a passion for physiological birth, and her clinical role prior to moving to the university was core midwife on the alongside midwife led unit. Amina has also spent some time on the maternity advice line and as an audit midwife.

Amina has had the opportunity to travel and provide teaching and training to midwifery and nursing colleagues in Sierra Leone and Cameroon. She has a drive to tackle the inequities faced for birthing people within the global majority and has been the Black Maternity Matters Champion for her trust.
