P R O FE SSI ONA L SUM M ARY

I am a student midwifery who trusts in the process of birth. I believe that all birthing
people are worthy of having a safe and beautiful birth story of their choosing. I am
passionate about advocating for individuals as they navigate through their unique and
personal changes during the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. I strive to
offer respect, support, and encouragement to all birthing persons as I gently assist in their
individual process while following the Midwives Model of Care. I am confident in my
abilities to support and assist my mentors as I gain a deeper knowledge of the skills
necessary to facilitate healthy and unimpaired pregnancy and birth for my future clients. I
aim to contribute all necessary skills within my scope to a birth team who consistently
practices safe and effective care to their clients while I further my progress in becoming a
Licensed and Certified Midwife.
