Biography
I have loved practicing as a midwife over the past 20 years, and teaching nursing and midwifery students over the past 16 years. With a PhD dissertation focused on midwifery education and workforce, my professional goals are to ensure excellence in midwifery education and practice, and to grow the midwifery profession so that everyone has access to compassionate, expert care. In addition to teaching at Frontier, I am the Chair of ACNM’s Division of Research Workforce Committee, Director of the Emory Decatur Labor Support Volunteer program, and a reviewer for the Journal of Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family (husband, 2 kids, and 2 dogs) and friends in Atlanta, Georgia, and I enjoy kayaking, knitting, and baking.
