  Biography

  What I Do
  As a certified nurse midwife at the Birth Center at CentraCare - St. Cloud Hospital, I bring calm and reassurance to labor, and I support women and their partners so they can celebrate their ability to bring forth life. I am an experienced, open, compassionate, non-judgmental care provider. I focus on listening, sharing information and trusting people to make their own safe decisions.

  Why I Love My Work
  I enjoy working with women of all cultures during the most precious moments of pregnancy and birth. After giving birth to my second child, I really wanted to work with women to inform and empower them to access their own strength to give birth.

  Getting to Know Me
  I like spending time in nature, fishing, riding horses and playing with my granddaughter. I am also a Vikings fan. I am excited to live near the Mississippi River and so many lakes. Central Minnesota is known for people’s kindness and easy-going lifestyle. I joined CentraCare because I wanted to live and work in a rural setting that provides a high level of quality care.
