Biography

I work full-time here at UoC as a Lecturer in Midwifery, with responsibility for leading on some of the modules on the programme & supporting my colleagues in their work.  I have recently left my practice role of Community Midwife with North Cumbria Integrated Care Trust but continue to undertake bank shifts there both as a Midwife and vaccinator, & am also involved in facilitating obstetric emergency training within the Trust.

I was self-employed for many years, before completing my Midwifery training at the University of Cumbria & am delighted to now be teaching here.

I am currently studying towards my Masters qualification, here at UoC.
