About Me
I began my...
I began my professional journey as a labor and delivery nurse at Dartmouth before pursuing my midwifery degree at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Upon graduation, I served as a National Health Service Corps Scholar, providing care to underserved women in inner-city Indianapolis. My commitment has always been grounded in the belief that every woman deserves access to midwifery care, regardless of background or circumstance.
Following the birth of our first child, we moved to Rochester to be closer to our family. Our three teenage children were all born into the hands of midwives. In our free time, we enjoy skiing, boating, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.
Today, my professional focus is within the sub-specialty of breastfeeding and lactation medicine. I care for families who face challenges with lactation, providing evidence-based education and compassionate support to help them achieve their infant feeding goals.

URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website.
