About
Philosophy of care
I believe women should be actively involved in their health care decisions. I believe pregnancy and birth are a normal, natural process and my role is to protect it.
Why I entered medicine
I have always been passionate about women's health. I came to midwifery through a circuitous route. I studied anthropology in college, focusing on reproductive/medical anthropology, and found my way to nursing and midwifery.
Community involvement
I am a member of the Maimonides Society and the American College of Nurse Midwives.
Personal interests
I enjoy reading, travel and crafts.
