Hometown: Plymouth, Minnesota, raised overseas in Japan
I am passionate about: working with women and their families. I want to make a positive impact on each person I meet. It is also important to me to empower women, so they can find the power and knowledge in their bodies.
If I wasn't a midwife, I would: love to spend my days baking and cooking. I enjoy spending time with my three busy teenagers, husband and Darwin my three-year-old golden doodle.
I knew I wanted to go into health care when: I was a child because I enjoyed caring for others and would often role play with my younger brother making him the patient. My desire to become a certified nurse midwife was heightened during my time as a labor and delivery RN. I have been blessed to catch multiple babies for the same family.
