About me

I am a Postpartum Doula certified through Childbirth International. I have a large extended family and have always been used to being around and working with children. For 3 years I worked as a child and school photographer traveling school to school in the tristate area. With all of this, I felt that I could best support families in a different way and decided to become certified as a Doula. I find comfort in supporting families in a comprehensive and holistic way. I look forward to opportunities to support any type of family in the community. When I am not working I enjoy backpacking, photography, and spending time with family.
