At a young age, I remember being captivated by birth. A fascination fueled mostly by watching "A Baby Story" on TLC and carrying around a baby doll in my t-shirt.

At a young age, I remember being captivated by birth. A fascination fueled mostly by watching "A Baby Story" on TLC and carrying around a baby doll in my t-shirt. When I turned 15, my littlest sister was born, and it was through her birth I realized my childhood fascination would become my adulthood passion. While in high school, I shadowed at my community hospital's birthing center and went right into nursing school. I received my associate's degree in nursing from Finger Lakes Community College in 2019 and started my labor and delivery job at that same birthing center. I worked as an LDRP nurse over the last 6 years while I received my bachelor's degree in nursing from The College at Brockport in 2022 and my master's degree in Midwifery from Thomas Jefferson University in 2024.

My mission as a midwife is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that honors the strength and wisdom of each individual. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where families feel empowered to make informed choices, nurturing both physical and emotional well-being throughout their lifespan, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. Through personalized care, I aim to promote a positive, transformative experience that respects the unique needs and values of every person and every family. I am excited and honored to be in the place I feel I have belonged my entire life.

In my free time, I spend much of my time with family and friends. I have three younger sisters who are my best friends and I recently married my husband who is a local firefighter. My husband and I enjoy hiking together, especially in Vermont and the Adirondacks. We were born and raised in the Finger Lakes and spend most of our summer days on the lake or enjoying the sunshine. I also find joy in walking, working out, and crocheting.
