As a third culture kid who grew up internationally, I desired to pursue my clinical experience for midwifery training outside the United States. I did so through National College of Midwifery and Newlife International School of Midwifery in Davao City, Philippines. I later joined a maternal and infant health care project in Bihar, India in 2010-2012. After finding myself settling back in Oklahoma, I founded Mosaic Midwifery in 2015 with the intention to offer low volume and high quality care. 

I am grateful to have had opportunities to provide midwifery care in a variety of environments over the past decade. Midwifery is truly an art that develops over time and with experience. These experiences have contributed to my growth as a person who holds space for others in such sacred moments. I enjoy providing attentive care and supporting clients in pursuing what they envision for the expansion of their family. 

Spending time together in appointments over pregnancy contributes to the ability to help support the type of experience a client desires. I believe the unfolding of each family is uniquely beautiful and I love  to see parents making decisions they feel confident in and getting cared for in a way that feels empowering. 

I am energized by midwifery education and love investing in facilitating clinical learning opportunities for student midwives. I am a registered preceptor for The North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) and have been an academic / clinical preceptor for National College of Midwifery (NCM) and Southwest Tech. I have also been a clinical preceptor with Midwives’ College of Utah in the past. I have been lucky to work with midwifery students over the years and enjoy seeing their progress and success.
