Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I envision a world where everyone has equal access to becoming and staying healthy. Based on this motivation, I worked for many years in public health. From there, I felt called to deepen my personal relationship with others by becoming a healthcare provider.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I am passionate about women's health at all stages of life. I value shared decision-making and I believe that each of us know the challenges and opportunities of our own lives best. I bring a broad range of experiences and knowledge to my midwifery practice, including relating to people of different racial, ethnic, religious and political backgrounds than myself. I look forward to learning from each and every client I serve.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

Outside of work, I love to spend time with family and friends, exercise, do yoga, read books and eat good food. Since I'm a midwife, I also love to catch up on sleep! I am always up for an adventure in nature and enjoy hiking, biking, swimming and camping.
