I'm a veteran birth and postpartum doula and certified breastfeeding counselor that has supported families throughout NYC. Previously, I graduated from Tulane University with degrees in Psychology and Political Science.  I worked for 9 years as a political campaign director coaching activists and organizers to find the courage and will to run challenging environmental, human rights, and electoral campaigns. Today, I’m the proud co-founder of NYC Birth Village doula agency where we are excited to support and coach doulas as they welcome the next generation of human beings into this world!

I was surprisingly thrown into this work when my sister asked me to be her doula the day her labor started. Little did I know that experience would change my life forever. A decade later, I’ve had the pleasure to witness hundreds of new lives enter this world. I've been taken aback by how beautiful yet challenging this work can be. I've loved the intimate experiences I have shared with families - tears of joy and sometimes pain, quiet moments staring at a newborn and moments of hope for all that is to come. Through the ups and downs of parenting, I saw first hand what a little guidance, support, reassurance and a smile could do.

As co-founder of NYC Birth Village and doula mentor, I am now happy to dedicate my time to building a strong team of doulas that can work closely with families to straddle the worlds of hope and fear with much empathy, finesse and expertise.
