“I have a great respect for pregnancy and the labor process.”

Mi acercamiento

I feel so connected to pregnant women. I have two children of my own, so I understand what the process of pregnancy is like. I have a great respect for pregnancy and the labor process. While Im a midwife at heart I am also a highly trained Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist who strives for a healthy pregnancy for both mother and child. When there are complications, I help navigate through the challenges, joys and sorrows.

My other passion is the amazing organ- the placenta. I study how the human placenta develops and sometimes leads to pregnancy complications. My research focuses on the complication called preeclampsia, which affects both the mother and baby. My lab is working on research that will help us develop better treatment or prevention for preeclampsia.

I am proud to support patients in their journey to have a child. Even when women have complicated pregnancies, my goal is to keep the labor process as natural as possible.

Ultimately Im here to contribute meaning and support during the birth experience, and to improve the outcomes of maternal and neonatal health in the future. I study human placental development in order to improve the health of mothers and their children.
