I am a Certified Nurse-Midwife with over 12 years of experience providing community-based care in Federally Qualified Health Centers. I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice in Midwifery from the University of Minnesota.

I am deeply passionate about midwifery care and the unique role it plays in supporting physiologic birth, honoring the normalcy of pregnancy, and building meaningful, trusting relationships with patients and families. I also value the broader impact of midwifery and women’s health care across the lifespan, recognizing the importance of preventive care, reproductive health, and empowering patients well beyond pregnancy. I am committed to patient education, shared decision-making, advancing health equity, and reducing racial disparities in care. I strongly believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right, and I strive to create a respectful, empowering environment where my patients feel informed, supported, and heard throughout their care.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my partner and learning about different communities and cultures, practicing yoga, reading, and spending time with my children and granddaughter.
