Why am I a doula?

​

My commitment to reproductive justice and health equity led me to doula work, with the ultimate goal of becoming a midwife.

​

​

I have experience in reproductive health as a childbirth educator, OBGYN medical assistant, program coordinator for a sexual and reproductive health and rights non-profit organization, and clinical data manager in a gynecologic oncology research lab. In all of these roles, I am drawn to work that addresses health inequities, particularly access to reproductive healthcare.

​

​

I understand pregnancy is both an empowering and vulnerable time, and I want to provide meaningful support for all pregnancy outcomes including birth, adoption, loss, and abortion. 

​

​

I use she/her pronouns and I live in the East Mountains with my family. I support pregnant people in my local community including Albuquerque, and I am a member of the group

Doulas of the Southwest.
