Why do you practice medicine?
My mission is to care for individuals as a midwife with evidence based practice while advocating, supporting and providing safe, person centered care. I've wanted to be a midwife since I was 5 years old, and have been attending births in some capacity since I was 18 years old! I became a doula and childbirth educator in 2008, and worked in Lancaster, PA as a midwives assistant in the Amish community.
