I am a perinatal epidemiologist with a clinical background in obstetrical nursing. I undertake clinical trials to evaluate methods of pregnancy and labour management and interventions for mothers at particularly high risk for experiencing adverse perinatal outcomes. I use the British Columbia Reproductive Care Program Perinatal Registry linked to Ministry of Health data to evaluate outcomes and cost of specific methods of delivering obstetrical care.
