I’ve always been fascinated by pregnancy and birth, but when I attended my first DONA doula training in 2018, I felt like I had found my place in the world. After graduating with my B.S. in Human Biology at USC, I followed my intuition to San Diego to begin my doula career. In September 2019, I received training to become a volunteer doula with For The Village, a non-profit based in San Diego. The training focused heavily on how to support birthing people from low-income and marginalized groups.​

My goal as a doula is to help all birthing people feel safe, respected, and empowered. My training and volunteer experience has prepared me all the better to meet this standard of care.
