About me
The best part of my job is helping people with complicated pregnancies have a safe delivery. I'm fascinated by the incredible changes that happen in a person's body during pregnancy.
Every person's pregnancy journey is different, depending on their unique health concerns and what's important to them. I work with patients and their families to create a plan that supports them and ensures a safe and happy delivery. The most important thing to me is making sure both the mom and the baby are healthy.
It is an honor for me to help patients and their families through both the happy and tough times that come with pregnancy. It's also very important to me that pregnant people get care that respects their beliefs and what matters to their family.
