My passion for nurse midwifery stems from a deep desire to support women through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Combining this with education allows me to shape the next generation of midwives, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and compassion needed to provide exceptional care. Teaching offers a unique opportunity to multiply my impact by empowering students to make a difference in the lives of women and families, which is incredibly rewarding.

I actively engage in continuous professional development through attending workshops, conferences, and completing advanced certifications. Subscribing to leading midwifery journals and participating in professional organizations also keeps me abreast of emerging trends and evidence-based practices. This commitment not only enhances my own practice but ensures that I can provide students with the most current and comprehensive education possible.

I employ a variety of teaching strategies tailored to different learning styles, including case studies, simulations, and hands-on practice. Breaking down complex concepts into manageable parts and using real-life scenarios helps students grasp and retain information. Encouraging questions and fostering an interactive classroom environment ensures that students feel supported and confident in their understanding.

I believe in a supportive and proactive approach, starting with a one-on-one meeting to identify specific challenges and develop a personalized improvement plan. Providing additional resources, tutoring, or modified clinical assignments can help. Regular follow-ups ensure progress and adjust strategies as needed, always maintaining open communication to build the student's confidence and competence.

Creating an inclusive learning environment begins with acknowledging and valuing diverse backgrounds and perspectives. I incorporate culturally competent care examples into the curriculum and encourage open discussions about diversity in healthcare. By modeling respect and empathy, and addressing biases, I aim to prepare students to provide equitable care to all populations, reflecting the diverse communities they will serve.
