I became a single mother when my children were just one and three years old. Nearly three years later, we are not only surviving, we are thriving. Together, we’ve built a life rooted in resilience, and joy.

My journey into birth work began after the traumatic birth of my first child. Supporting other families during their births became both a form of healing for myself and a meaningful way to serve my community. After experiencing a redemptive and empowering birth with my second child, I felt a deep pull toward midwifery. For the first time, I found a purpose and passion that felt like home.

Following my divorce, I relocated with my children to Utah County, where we began again—just the three of us. I became a phlebotomist while continuing to work as a doula and birth assistant, all in hopes to bring me closer to my dream of becoming a midwife. That same year, I chose to become an egg donor, inspired by the powerful experiences of clients navigating infertility. Over the course of 2023, I donated more than 160 eggs, helping many families grow their own.

In 2024, I became an IV therapist, offering care through a medical spa, particularly with a focus to help clients suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) in pregnancy. That year, I also became a gestational carrier and delivered a beautiful baby in November—a journey that demanded everything from me. It gave me courage, grit, and an even deeper sense of purpose. While carrying that baby, I worked three jobs, provided for my family, and ultimately won full legal and physical custody of my children after a year-long custody battle.

Shortly after delivering my belly buddy, I began school at Midwives College of Utah to pursue my dream of becoming a Certified Professional Midwife. Balancing full-time work, full-time parenting, and full-time school brings its own challenges—but it also brings meaning, strength, and pride.

I know with certainty that I have the heart of a midwife. Every step of this journey, every setback and every triumph, has prepared me to serve families with compassion, skill, and deep understanding. Above all, I am committed to giving my children a life filled with love, stability, and safety.

This is a new season for us, and like every chapter before it, we are facing it with our heads held high, full of hope, and ready for all it will bring.
