“I have always viewed pregnancy and birth as normal life events and when I discovered the role of the certified nurse midwife, I know immediately that this was my calling!

What I love most about my role is that not only do I have an opportunity to develop relationships with women and their families but now I am able to participate in the education and training of a new generation of certified nurse midwives.”
