She is a doctoral-prepared midwife, consultant, and educator who imparts information to women and healthcare providers alike.
She is a rebel, a dreamer, a wife, and a mother, who was destined to be a midwife... She has been in collaborative hospital practice for 20 years, and after having attended over nine hundred births, she continues to be awed by the strength of the women she serves.
A course creator, and author, whose vision to decrease maternal mortality in women of color is woven throughout each endeavor. The intention is that health professional education, and career mentoring will create an ongoing pipeline of birth-workers who will join together to become a large part of the solution.
