I have always been captivated by pregnancy and birthing, and what these transformative experiences reveal about our selves and our world. Since I was young enough to watch over baby neighbors and siblings, providing childcare has been an important part of how I see myself connecting with community. Using this fascination as a guiding star, I chose to pursue birth work and was certified as a full-spectrum doula by Doula Training International in 2022.

I graduated from University of Portland with a degree in communication studies. This course of study has equipped me with both an evidence-based praxis and a mind for open communication and meaningful connection. I am forever a student of my clients and fellow birthworkers.

In my time spent not working with families, you can find me working on a sewing project, cooking up something comforting, browsing vintage stores, and singing along to the oldies station.
