I’ve always expressed a passion in caring for women and children. I first started my career as a nurse in acute care general pediatrics. While working as a pediatric nurse, I often would interact with first-time mothers and women in the postpartum period when they visited their hospitalized newborns. This interaction sparked my interest in Women’s health because these women would often need anticipatory guidance pertaining to breastfeeding, newborn care, etc. Later in my nursing career, I ventured out and became a Women’s Health nurse (mother/baby nurse and labor and delivery nurse) which provided me with an opportunity to observe a certified nurse midwife. I fell entirely in love with midwifery. Being able to empower, strengthen and advocate for women during all faucets of life and being able to provide newborn care and care for the new family is the greatest fulfillment and honor.
