Profile Information

About Me: I have been a midwife for over 17 years and a Midwifery Educator at Redcliffe and Caboolture hospital for the last 7 years. I have worked clinically in both private and public sectors in all areas of midwifery and taught for 3 years as a Clinical Midwifery lecturer at the Australian Catholic University in Brisbane. With a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and a Masters in Midwifery, education, online facilitation and the development of online maternity care have been my major areas of interest to date.

I have recently undertaken project management with the successful completion of the Virtual Maternity Care project for the Caboolture maternity unit. I have designed a consumer focused website and achieved the first online registration for public maternity clients in QLD. Online maternity care aims to enhance & redesign how we provide maternity services and I am currently developing a research proposal to design a best practice model to engage maternity clients through social media.

I concurrently have my own Midwifery Consultancy business all while mothering 4 children and maintaining a small midwifery caseload of women.
