Birth Emergencies

Since I was a little girl, I have had an interest in pregnancy and birth. I learned about midwifery during my undergraduate studies at UNC-Chapel Hill through a screening of The Business of Being Born. From that moment, I knew I would be a midwife. In 2012, I moved to Seattle to begin Bastyr's midwifery program and in 2015 I graduated with a Master's in Midwifery. Since graduating I have worked with the Eastside Midwives at Puget Sound Birth Center, sat as the President of the Midwives of Washington State organization and am faculty at Bastyr University. My experience includes well over 700 births and thousands of hours of prenatal and postpartum care. I also teach many classes in the midwifery program at Bastyr University. I am currently back in school to earn my degree as a Certified Nurse Midwife and Doctor of Nurse Practice (DNP). Taking care of birthing people and their families is my passion and teaching new birth workers and midwives is how I will give back to the community I serve. I hope you learn much from these classes and I invite you to reach out with questions, [email protected]!
