Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I contribute to the Allegheny County Fetal-Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) Board as a member of the Community Action Team and Clinical Action Collaborative. I'm able to provide input that feeds into our healthcare system, along with other providers, researchers, and advocates, to improve the care we provide to families and reduce the maternal-child mortality. I provide free birth and postpartum doula services, as well as photography, to bereaved families in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas through Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas. Since October 2025, I have been supporting families at the bedside through TFMR, IUFD, and other unimaginable diagnoses. This is what has drawn me into focus on Pregnancy After Loss (PAL) and fertility support, specifically for those affected by infertility or repeated pregnancy loss. In August 2026, I hosted the EMBRACE Today podcast which brought together researchers and community care providers from diverse backgrounds to discuss issues pertinent to improving Black maternal-child health. EMBRACE is an NIH-funded center of excellence that uses bidirectional learning, training and development, and community engagement to improve Black maternal-child health outcomes in Allegheny County. From December 2024 until August 2026, I coordinated the Community Component of the center, using my experience to connect with families across our region and help co-design a new model of postpartum care to be implemented in the future.
