What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower women through healthcare, focusing on education and comprehensive care.

I am a Certified Nurse-Midwife with extensive experience in providing comprehensive gynecologic and obstetric care. My journey in nursing began with an ADN, followed by a BSN, and culminated in an MSN with a focus on midwifery. I have a passion for empowering women through all stages of their reproductive health.

Currently, I work at Luminis Health, where I provide routine gynecologic care, contraceptive counseling, and manage labor and deliveries. My role also includes facilitating group prenatal classes, which allows me to educate and support expectant mothers in a collaborative environment. I have also gained valuable experience at Beebe Healthcare and Eastern Shore OB/GYN, where I honed my skills in high-risk patient management and procedural care.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my certifications and honors. I strive to create a supportive and informative atmosphere for my patients, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care.
