Prior to pursuing midwifery, Danielle graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016 where she studied Public Health and minored in both Women’s Health and Africana Studies. Following graduation, Danielle became a doula where she served the communities at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. This is where her passion for women’s health and reproductive justice began. This experience coupled with her education solidifies the importance intersectionality has within the healthcare system. Since learning about the disparities affecting the reproductive health of Black women over a decade ago, she gained an early commitment to and passion for reducing the high rates of maternal complications and mortality affecting communities of color. It is her plan to put this passion into practice and contribute as a change agent for improved health outcomes for all communities. Her goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and empowering birthing space for all birthing people to successfully and confidently become the experts of their health care needs.
