She is currently a member-owner of Birthmark Doula Collective, Doula, Perinatal health Advocate, and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. After working at Children’s Hospital New Orleans for over fourteen years, she discovered the true care for infants and children began at the womb. She received her doula and placenta encapsulation certificates in 2018. Very shortly after in 2020 with a small cohort she became a Perinatal Health Advocate and breastfeeding specialist with Sister Midwife Productions. Her eagerness for growth in her maternal healthcare community prevailed as she became in 2021 the contracted Doula Coordinator for Covenant House and Maternal Pathways New Orleans.
