I completed my registered nurse training at Derby and worked as a staff nurse on the regional neurosurgical unit. I then completed midwifery training and on qualifying worked as a midwife at Royal Derby Hospital. Although I worked in many specialist areas within midwifery, the majority of my time at Derby was as matron in the inpatient maternity areas. I was part of the consulting team when designing the new maternity unit which forms a significant part of the new hospital build. I worked for six years at Burton hospital as matron for community midwifery which included the Samuel Johnson midwifery-led unit and led the service through many changes. Following this, I moved into higher education as a senior lecturer in midwifery at the University of Wolverhampton. In addition to teaching across the whole midwifery spectrum, I was the link tutor for Burton hospitals and personal tutor for a number of students. I have obtained various qualifications during my career, in both clinical midwifery, management and leadership at all levels, the highest at M.Sc. level. I am a Professional Midwifery Advocate, with overarching responsibilities regarding safety for women and babies, staff development and restorative clinical supervision.

Her Research Interest focus on Midwifery and Nursing Care, Lead Midwife for Education network, midwifery programmes in higher education.
