“Ever since I was a young teen, I knew I wanted to support the growth and development of babies with my first thought being neonatology, but after having my children, I knew I wanted to become something more intimate.”
“Becoming a midwife has been God-instilled upon me. My grandmother and great-grandmother were traditional midwives and one was also a teacher. It’s been in my nature to want to educate families on their birth journeys and support them in ways that could influence their birth outcomes. My Vision in Midwifery is honestly already happening as I am learning daily about the growth and development of babies in-utero.”
“My vision is to continue to make home-birth the norm in order to elevate the voices of our birthing people and their partners about their perinatal desires, and to provide access to education at the hands in an intimate level that will aid in supporting families in their most sacred time of growing their bundles of joy.”
