Biography
I knew at a very early age I wanted to work in the healthcare field. I started my path getting my registered nurse degree and my interest was to work in labor and delivery. It was after being in labor and delivery that I felt the need to not stay working as a RN but instead to become a provider where I thought I could make more of a difference in improving patient care experience/outcomes.
I feel it is an honor and privilege to care for women of all ages. I believe women and their family’s entrusting their care to me is such a sacred choice and should be revered as such. I love the honor of celebrating with families in their happiest of moments such as birth, but I also feel humbled to have the honor to walk through and support families through their saddest and most difficult moments too.
