i am 30 years old and i currently reside in the lehigh valley of pennsylvania. i am a childfree auntie.  which gives me the time and space to live my life serving others.

i was called to this work the summer before i began high school. wild, right? i had no idea what our bodies went through before a baby arrived. i was honored to bear witness of my loved one laboring her first child. i was intrigued and frightened, to say the least! after that experience, i told myself that i wanted to catch babies!

when i was 19, i began my certified nursing assistant, cna journey. this is where i honed my skills of being empathetic and meeting people where they are to help them go where they want to be. in february of 2021, i was blessed to transfer to the labor and delivery department. witnessing births lit a fire in me. i couldn't wait to catch babies one day. i kept seeing a pattern of fear and anxiety in my peers. the lack of education of our bodies and the birth process wasn't something that only scared 14 year old me; most women in my community struggled with understanding what was happening. the labor room is not a time or place to be uninformed, yall!

the more I reflect on my life, i've always been a doula. i am the person that people lean into when they are scared, lonely and frightened. i have experience with pregnancy interruption, advocacy at doctor appointments, hanging out with littles while parents are home (just to give them a much needed break), that one time my friend was passing clots at 4am! & i spent four months being a death doula to one of my favorite women who passed of cancer after a fierce 4+ year battle. 

i show up when i am called upon. it's how i prove my love. unfortunately, not everyone can rely on people in their village to be there for them without question, bias or judgement. i want to step up and fill that void. so here we are!

let me be a part of your village. i will be your cheerleader, confidante, and fierce advocate. i'll be whatever you need in the moment. it is my superpower. i am not one to pretend that i have all the answers. i will find the answer because i love being a resource of knowledge for my village. i want people to make informed choices. nothing makes me happier than someone being confident in what they choose to do! 

everyone deserves support! so, it is your time to shine.
