I always knew I wanted to work in healthcare, but I chose nursing because I wanted to have the time to build relationship and rapport with my patients. While in nursing school, I felt drawn to pregnancy and birth and by my senior year I knew I wanted to be a midwife. I worked as an RN at Deaconess Hospital Labor and Delivery for 12 years alongside nurse-midwives who showed me how to center families, honor autonomy, and safely guide clients through birth. After assisting with hundreds of births and having two children of my own, I knew I was ready to follow in the footsteps of my midwife mentors.

I have a BSN from Washington State University (WSU) College of Nursing and a MSN from Frontier Nursing University. I am continuing my studies with Frontier into a Doctor of Nursing Practice. I have been a member of the American College of Nurse Midwives since 2020. I'm certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board.

After graduating from Frontier, I waited for a position that would allow my family and I to stay planted in the Spokane community where we have flourished. During that time I traveled to the Marshall Islands to learn more about the health, language, and culture of our Marshall Islander population in Spokane. In the fall, I started working for WSU College of Nursing as a Community Health Nursing Clinical Instructor. When I received an offer for a role at Quilted Health I was thrilled! I'm so excited to have the opportunity to serve women and families in the Inland Northwest in this new capacity.

I am passionate about supporting the gyn care and birth journey that is right for you! I'm here to serve as a guide and give you the information you need to make the best choice for you and your family. Thank you for allowing me to walk with you on your health journey and through the transformative process of pregnancy and birth!
