As a Registered Midwife my role is the primary care provider for healthy pregnant women throughout their pregnancy, during their birth, and postpartum for her and her infant for 6 weeks.
I view working with birthing women as an incredible honour and privilege that continues to amaze me, and perpetually fills me with wonder. My experiences as a midwife reinforced my determination to become a care provider who supports women in their childbearing year in making evidenced based, informed choices, and to birth with dignity and respect.
This e-portfolio serves to house my professional and educational achievements, as well as store artefacts from the Masters of Health Studies program. In completing a Masters of Health Studies, I hope to become an educator. To share that wonder with others, and to foster future midwives in supporting families on their journey to parenthood.

My Story
Being raised in the Thompson-Okanagan, my early life was characterized by barefoot-summers, close-knit community, and a curiosity for the world beyond my doorstep. That curiosity led me away from Vernon to study International Relations at the University of British Columbia (UBC). During my time at UBC, I attended a conference on Maternal Health. At that conference I discovered my passion for working with birthing women and their families, and decided to embark on the journey to become a midwife.
