"After graduating from Swarthmore College, I taught in inner-city schools in New Jersey. Then I had my first pregnancy and birth with nurse-midwives, and discovered that I was meant to be a midwife! In the 18 years since then, I have enjoyed teaching women about their bodies, their babies and their health care options. I became Director of Midwifery at Mount Auburn Hospital in 2008, and have been dividing my time between administrative duties and clinical work. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, marathoning, and exploring life with my two teenagers. My new passion is rowing. You can find me almost every day at 5:30am on the Charles River. I have lived in South America, and speak Spanish fluently. I see women at the Joseph Smith Health Center and Center for Women."
