My fascination with birth began in childhood, helping care for my baby sister when I was seven years old. I was also fortunate to share a deeply meaningful relationship with my grandparents and to be present through the final chapters of their lives. Those early experiences shaped my life and my desire to support people having agency and knowing over their bodies and choices. Being a sister, daughter, granddaughter, partner, and friend continues to shape how I show up in this work as a care partrner and advocate.

I hold a Master of Public Health from Yale School of Public Health with a focus in women's health and a bachelor's degree in Gerontology and Human Development & Aging from USC. I trained as a birth and postpartum doula with Cornerstone Doulas and as an end-of-life doula with INELDA.

My background in public health deeply shapes how I approach every aspect of care, with an understanding that our systems do not impact everyone equally, and that systemic inequities profoundly shape people’s experiences of fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and end-of-life care. I am relational, evidence-based, trauma-informed, and see this work as a true honor and privilege to get to do.
