About

I began my career in women’s health over ten years ago where I fell in love with labor and delivery while working at The Duke Birthing Center in Durham, NC. The Duke Birthing Center is a high-risk tertiary labor and delivery unit which afforded me the opportunity to connect and learn from many of the greatest physicians and midwives in the world of obstetrics. I also served as a clinical instructor for the Duke University School of Nursing. It was during this time that I saw the value of collaborative care between physicians and midwives, as well as student learners. The unique insights of midwives as experts in normal labor and birth was key to a balanced approach to obstetric care in an academic setting. These experiences were instrumental in molding delivery of care to ensure ALL women, no matter their health status, received focused-centered care that normalized their hospital stay. I knew becoming a certified nurse midwife would enable me to reach even more women. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my fur baby, a Labradoodle named Gunner.
