Bio


I am a graduate of the Nurse Midwifery program at Georgetown University and currently working as a Nurse Midwife for Baltimore Washington Medical Center in a faculty practice under the umbrella of the Univeristy of Maryland Medical Services in Baltimore Maryland. I provide full scope midwifery care to include antepartal/ intrapartal /postpartal and gynecological care.My office number is 410-553-8260.

I am a "YOU: On a Diet" success story! I lost 86 pounds and went from a size 20 to a size 4 by following Dr. Oz's weight-loss plan. As a health care provider who was too busy taking care of mypatients to take care of myself, I am now committed to join the "YOU Docs" and Sharecare to help America get their health back. I serve as an e-Coach for those desiring help to make lifestyle changes and I've developed a wellness program to help others become as successful as I have. I look forward to working with Sharecare as the "YOU Nurse/Wellness Warrior" and as an expertMidwife for all those healthy pregnancy questions. I am currently developing a Healthy Pregnancy Education Series utilizing the reference, "YOU: Having a Baby."
