About

I have been a qualified midwife since 2005 and have worked across all areas of maternity care until my transfer into education in 2018. I still try to work clinically as a midwife as I find enjoyment in both education and clinical midwifery.

Teaching responsibilities

I am a Senior Lecturer in Midwifery and am therefore responsible for teaching and assessing student midwives across all three years of the undergraduate midwifery programme.

Experience in industry

I have spent most of my clinical career as a labour ward midwife and as a shift coordinator for the last few years. I have spent three years as a community midwife with regular experience in other areas of maternity care. 

Additional interests and activities

I enjoy singing and acting in my spare time and am a member of a local amateur dramatics group. Many family members were in the group and I joined aged four. Now my children have joined too so it's a family affair.
