I came to midwifery as a second career. What really drew me to midwifery was the unique connections that are formed with individuals and families as they journey to meeting their new baby. Having spent a number of years in a research setting, I found myself wanting to branch out to a space where I could use my natural preference for the scientific field in a way that would also allow for connection with others. Through this process, I researched social sciences, nursing and midwifery. I was blessed to meet some wonderful midwives over this course of exploration, as well as clients who had received midwifery care, and found that their stories deeply resonated with me, compelling me to become a midwife.

My goal as a midwife is to provide research-based, client-centred, and individualized care. I seek to understand the preferences and values of the clients I serve, and to help them achieve their goals throughout pregnancy, birth and post-partum.
