Pregnancy and the postpartum period is a unique time that requires a village. I love being able to be a part of a family's village as they navigate this time in their lives. I've had the pleasure of working as a nurse in multiple areas such as labor and delivery, postpartum, and the neonatal ICU. Each space comes with its own distinct joys and challenges, and I hope my experience in these areas can help me be a resource to you and your family.
