Summary

Being a person deeply rooted in community-based work, I strive to support all birthing families with adequate education, autonomy, and empathy. As a BIPOC person and a member of the LGBTQ+2IA community, supporting families with culturally appropriate and non-judgmental care is of the utmost importance to me. I aspire to be a safe and supportive ally to my community, sharing the birth workers' ability to provide care in an empowering and meaningful way. My goal is to support all types of families throughout all stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care.
