Senior Lecturer/Admissions Tutor Midwifery
I am Admissions Tutor and a Senior Lecturer on BSc (Hons) Midwifery. I am dual qualified being both a Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). I have clinical experience in both in and out of hospital care, predominantly as a midwife in antenatal/postnatal inpatient care.
I took a career break, prior to joining the University of Sunderland to become a lecturer in 2020, and travelled the world giving me a rich understanding of culture globally. I am passionate about the future of midwifery and look forward to inspiring the next generation of midwives!
Teaching and supervision
I teach BSc (Hons) Midwifery Practice.
Prior to this I have been module lead for NUR207 on BSc Nursing Top-Up and have delivered midwifery theory and practice to a range of other courses including medicine and paramedic science.
Research
