Relevant volunteer or advocacy work
I currently co-lead an Embrace Grace group at my church in Clarkston, MI. This group provides encouragement, spiritual guidance, parenting education, and more for mothers who are single and expecting a baby. In my time as a doula I have volunteered at a variety of pregnancy clinics, domestic violence shelters, and call centers for women. I am passionate about helping women thrive in motherhood and supporting them in the ways they need it most.
