I grew up in Southeast Asia, with my parents being highly involved in community development. During my teen years, my adopted sister became pregnant. Many of her friends and other young mothers in the community, struggle to take care of their babies due to a lack of resources and education. This sparked my interest in midwifery as I desired to help care for and educate mothers and babies.

 

I attended Newlife International School of Midwifery in the Philippines. I trained for two and a half years in a maternity clinic, gaining hands-on skills while completing my academics through the National College of Midwifery. After graduating from the academic portion of my program, I completed the rest of my clinical experience in Arlington, Washington, attending home births.

 

I joined Lenny Sue’s team as a Certified Professional Midwife in early 2020. I have enjoyed being a part of the team, encouraging beautiful birth outcomes, and sharpening my skills as a midwife. The team also helped me birth my two children at home.
