Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

My birth work and passion for it started when I was postpartum with my second child. I bring valuable knowledge and personal experience as it relates to infertility, miscarriage, natural labor, epidural, shoulder dystocia, cesarean, and breastfeeding with an infant tongue tie. In 2020 I worked in the hospital setting as a Nursing Care Partner at Sentara Norfolk General, following certification as a Patient Care Tech from Sentara College of Health Science. In 2023, I moved into an Administrative Specialist position at outpatient mental health office. In 2024, I joined PSVA (Postpartum Support Virginia) as a volunteer in the Peer Mentor Program.
