Want to know more about my educational background?

I have a formal background in Early Childhood Education, and worked locally as a pre-kindergarten teacher.

Currently, I volunteer at our local pregnancy center as a client advocate, where we are constantly expanding our client advocate trainings.

I am a student midwife and am actively working under midwives in our community while taking online classes through MEAC accredited CEU programs.

Someday soon I hope to add certifications in herbal medicine. For now, all of my knowledge comes from books, some online courses, and growing experience with friends, family, and clients. For my favorite herbal remedies please feel free to ask for my ever-expanding list!
