Research
My PhD Research explored maternal dietary and physical activity behaviours during pregnancy and using Self Determination Theory as the theoretical underpinning resulted in the development of a Midwife-led intervention to facilitate healthful lifestyle behaviours. The intervention combined brief Motivational Interviewing and goal setting in early pregnancy using a collaborative woman-centred approach.
Alongside my Doctoral studies I was a co-applicant on a successful Research Development Group (RDG) bid from Children and Young People Research Network (CYPRN). The RDG explored the application of the Motivational Interviewing training for midwives which had been piloted in all LHB's in Wales. This collaborative multi-organisational RDG included professionals working within the NHS, Cardiff University, and South East Wales Trials Unit.
I was seconded from my clinical role to work alongside Professor Hunter as a Research Associate on a joint Royal College of Midwives and Cardiff University research study. This project explored midwives understanding and experience of resilience in midwifery via the RCM online discussion forum.
Research interests:
Gestational weight gain, Diet and exercise in pregnancy, Health promotion including effective communication, Health behaviours, Psychology of lifestyle behaviours and impact on pregnancy, Behaviour change, Self Determination Theory, Perception of risk in pregnancy, Motivational Interviewing, Midwifery resilience and Resilience in other health professions.

Biography
I qualified and registered as a midwife in September 2006 and was employed at Abertawe Bro Morgannwg LHB as a core rotational midwife in a busy obstetric led unit for 7 years. In April 2009 I was fortunate to secure funding from Research Capacity Building Collaboration (RCBC), Wales to undertake a PhD. During my doctoral studies I continued to work part-time as a midwife. My PhD was concerned with maternal dietary behaviours and activity during pregnancy. I completed my PhD in October 2013.
In January 2014 I joined the Midwifery education team as a lecturer. Since then I have worked as a lecturer with differents roles including as placement lead, programme manager and in February 2020 I was seconded to work for HEIW as the Programme Manager for the Once for Wales Midwifery Practice Assessment Document (MPAD). In Spring of 2022 I was appointed as the Professional Head of Midwifery.
