Her career is distinguished by a deep commitment to improving clinical practices and patient outcomes, particularly in breastfeeding support and the care of late preterm infants.

She has experience with care of families experiencing pregnancy/infant loss; as well as having authored several protocols, such as Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Management of Newborn Hyperbilirubinemia in hospital and community settings. Ginette has translated her extensive clinical experience as a Nurse Manager and Advanced Practice Nurse into her academic role, where she is actively involved in teaching foundational nursing clinical skills labs. She has presented on numerous occasions locally and at eight national conferences, including a 2-hour specialty session on the care of the late preterm infant in 2017. She has made scholarly contributions, including co-authoring chapters on newborn care for a leading Canadian maternal-child nursing textbook.
