I am a certified Doula trained by Maternity Wise Institute. I am from a small town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and currently live in Lexington, Kentucky. I finished my undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. I completed my post-graduate studies in Doctor of Chiropractic at Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Several of my classes covered material that opened my eyes to the unique birth disparities crisis black women face in the United States. My academic studies and work experience in chiropractic, along with my passion for women's health led me to pursue a career as a doula. I am an ICPA and Webster Certified chiropractor, specializing in family wellness at Triple Crown Chiropractic & Wellness. 

I believe all families deserve support before, during, and after birth. With the challenges faced by black women and their infants, still, black mothers are mistreated, disregarded, and continue to lose their lives disproportionately due to childbirth-related complications. I intend to reach and represent those mothers, ensuring they feel supported throughout their reproductive journey.

I desired to become a doula because of the evidence that supports the death rates of black women during pregnancy and in birth. Every year nearly 700 women die in the U.S. as a result of pregnancy complications. Black women are two to three times more likely to die from a pregnancy related cause than white women.
