Nicole has been nursing for 24 years. Always holding a strong interest in working with vulnerable families worked extensively within Child and Family Health. Her interest in mother’s mental health and the impact on their children facilitated the move to Perinatal Mental Health (PIMH) 3 years ago where she has developed a new PIMH role for Justice Health and the Forensic Mental health network. She works with pregnant women in custody supporting the most vulnerable members of our society. The move has encouraged a return to further study and she is currently completing a Masters of Clinical Nursing.
