1: Give us a three word summary of who you are.

Accompaniment. Committed. Goofy. 

2: What drew you to a career as a doula?

A combination of academic background, passions, job history, and the stars aligning brought me to this work. I found out what a “doula” was through hearing the birth story of the baby that I was nannying for at the time. I had the privilege of pretty immediately grounding doula work in a reproductive justice framework, which aligned with much of the other spheres of my life. I also have an MSW (Masters in Social Work), but often felt frustrated in the field. Doula work feels similar, but more expansive and creative.

3: What's rocking your world right now, in birth or in parenting?

Witnessing how a birthing body and baby move together over the course of labor. 

4: Where might we find you when you’re not doula-ing?

On a walk in the woods or cooking up a storm in my kitchen.
