During nursing school, I was drawn to labor and delivery - the energy in the room during a birth was palpable - and I knew deep down it was the right place for me. I completed doula training to be a volunteer doula while I finished nursing school and as a new nurse, was able to get a job as a labor and delivery nurse. While I loved being a bedside nurse, I felt a pull to find an opportunity to know the rest of my patients' stories. \n Midwifery allowed me to provide continuity of care for families in addition to being invited to witness the excitement of birth. Midwifery education is rooted in being "with women." We are trained to listen, educate and advocate for what our patients feel is their best course of action. I aim to provide holistic care rooted in informed consent and shared decision making. Being able to support patients from their well woman visits, through their prenatal care course and back again has been the greatest privilege! \n I have called Charlotte home since 2015. Before making the jump to hospital-based care, I was involved with the organization and launch of several birthing centers. In my free time I stay actively involved in midwifery advocacy on a state level. When I am not working, you can find me chasing my three wild kids and our growing list of pets!

I took a medical science course early in high school and became interested in health care. Several years later, my mom was treated for Stage 2 breast cancer. She felt very supported by her FNP (family nurse practitioner) throughout diagnosis and treatment. That made an impact on me. She has been in remission for 10 years.\n After working as a registered nurse in adult medical and critical care services at Presbyterian Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, I went on to earn a master's degree at UNC Charlotte so I could work as an advanced practice provider in family medicine. \n I provide comprehensive, patient-centered care, by which I mean taking the time to hear you out and make recommendations based on your needs and values. \n I am recently married and live in Charlotte with my husband. My parents and siblings also live in the Charlotte area, and we spend most weekends together. I enjoy reading, exercise, and travel and am a big fan of Tar Heel basketball.
