About
Before entering academia, I worked for over 10 years in front line maternity services, in a variety of roles, including volunteer maternity assistant, maternity support worker and as a midwife. Midwifery runs in my family, with my sister being a midwife and also my great-grandmother.
As a midwife, I worked as part of an integrated team providing continuity of carer to women and their families throughout the childbirth continuum, rotating between the inpatient and community settings. Safety and improving outcomes for women and infants has always been at the heart of my work. I specialised in the leadership role of Professional Midwifery Advocate (PMA), NIPE practitioner, Research Midwife and also translator for Russian-speaking and German-speaking women. At the same time, my interest in midwifery education grew and I became an hourly-paid lecturer (HPL) in December 2020 for the midwifery department at Kingston. I assisted with a wide range of teaching activities and running of the KU Midwifery Society. Subsequently, I joined the midwifery department as a lecturer at Kingston in May 2023 on a permanent basis.
In my role as midwifery lecturer, my aim is to support and educate students to become safe, effective, knowledgeable and highly-skilled midwife practitioners, who provide women-centred, compassionate and individualised care. I am highly motivated to discover new innovative teaching methods for midwifery students. I am planning to continue to work as a clinical midwife.
