Jill Freeman RM

Hi, I’m Jill! I arrived at my career in midwifery after completing a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Women’s Studies at SFU.

Before entering the midwifery program at UBC, I worked as a birth doula and provided volunteer labour support for pregnant youth alongside two of my current teammates Rachel and Tracy. Born in Alberta and raised in rural British Columbia, I have made Vancouver my home with my husband, two adult children and a host of animals for decades.

I enjoy teaching and hold a clinical faculty position as a preceptor to midwifery students and participate in hospital and professional committees. Away from work I can often be found covered in pet hair, watching Breaking Bad, or lifting something heavy at the gym. I am constantly surprised, occasionally annoyed and always humbled by my work. See you soon at The Midwifery Group!
