Hello! Thank you for stopping by to read about me. My love for babies started when I was young, babysitting siblings, family, and friends' kids, and that lifelong passion has grown into a rewarding career path as I prepare to graduate in 2027 in Respiratory Care, aiming to specialize as an RRT in Labor & Delivery and the NICU. My journey to this work is also deeply personal: as both a mom and a former surrogate, I know firsthand how incredibly vulnerable and important the fourth trimester is.

As a full spectrum birth worker, and student midwife, I blend evidence based care with perinatal social work, intuitive, ancestral, and holistic wisdom.
