About

I am an experienced midwife and lecturer with a midwifery and teaching career spanning over 35 years. My abiding aim is to contribute positively to the health and wellbeing of the public and to this end my work has continually involved building and maintaining bridges between education, practice and the public. I aim to empower students and my colleagues to be excellent professionals and leaders to utilise their hard-won knowledge and skills to offer outstanding and excellent care to our community.  

I am currently enjoying my role as Joint Programme Director for the MSc Physician Associate Studies here at Swansea.

I am also learning Welsh and am proud to say that I am progressing quite well – currently speaking Welsh whenever I can and studying Cwrs Canolradd.
