Research
To me, midwifery marries evidence-based practice with patient-centered care and allows me to care for the person as a whole, instead of only ministering to their physical wellness. I have always been drawn to meeting others where they are, listening to them, and helping them to be active participants in their own care. I strive to create a trusting partnership between myself and the families that I care for so that they feel safe and know that their options and concerns matter. I am passionate about providing trauma-informed care, improving access to reproductive and preventative care, and supporting women throughout their lives. I am particularly interested in exploring the health-promoting and disease-preventing benefits of exercise and nutrition throughout the life-span, but especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I am grateful to have the opportunity to care for others and advocate for them while providing full-scope midwifery care to our community.
