to help you navigate YOUR OWN PATH

After 20 years and over 800 births, I've fully stepped into my role as a primary midwife with an open heart for safe compassionate care that supports and empowers the whole person. It was in my college library that I literally and serendipitously stumbled on midwifery -- the perfect combination of my passion for social justice and love for holistic health. I began attending births shortly thereafter as an interpreter for the Deaf. However it was my commitment to birth justice and the right to self-determination that led me to continue this path as a doula, student, midwifery assistant, and now, midwife.

I was honored to study under some of South Florida's most experienced midwives before moving to join Steel City Midwives in June of 2020. With the retirement of the practice's former owner, I'm now stepping into the leadership role of owner of the new Steel City Homebirth!

I am a first generation Cuban-American who uses they/them/elle pronouns. I am natively fluent in English and Spanish, as well as fluent in American Sign Language. When I'm not attending births, I keep busy with various projects to eliminate health disparities for pregnant and birthing Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ+ and other oppressed communities. I enjoy all different types of crafting, going camping, reading historical fiction, and finding new adventures with my partner, Shain. Our latest adventure is preparing for the birth of our first baby, due in Aquarius season 2021.
