Summary
As a mother of five, my own birth stories include a variety of experiences: in the hospital, at home in a birthing tub, medicated and unmedicated. I am passionate about supporting women and their families in their own birth stories. A compassionate Labor and Delivery Nurse with three years of nursing experience working with diverse patient presentations and populations, I am skilled at patient-centered, evidence-based care, effective communication with healthcare team, and childbirth education.
