With a diverse background spanning maternal support, recruitment, and the legal system, I bring a unique blend of empathy, organization, and interpersonal skills to every role I undertake. My career began in the judicial system, where I worked as a court clerk for several years. In this role, I was responsible for managing case files, recording court proceedings, and assisting judges and attorneys with the smooth operation of the courtroom. This position sharpened my attention to detail, taught me how to thrive under pressure, and strengthened my ability to communicate clearly and professionally in high-stakes environments.

My path shifted when I followed my passion for supporting women and families, becoming a certified birth doula. As a doula, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside numerous families during one of the most intimate and transformative times of their lives. I offer emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. My work requires a calm, grounding presence, the ability to advocate for clients’ preferences, and a deep understanding of the birth process. Each experience has strengthened my belief in the power of informed, compassionate care and has helped me develop strong trust-based relationships with my clients.

In between doula work and legal administration, I’ve also worked as a recruiter, specializing in matching top talent with meaningful roles. Whether I was sourcing candidates for corporate positions or screening applicants for more specialized roles, I developed a keen eye for potential and a strong grasp of human dynamics. I handled everything from resume review and interviewing to onboarding and team integration. This position honed my skills in networking, conflict resolution, and persuasive communication.

Across all three roles, I’ve consistently demonstrated an ability to manage sensitive information, prioritize competing demands, and bring a thoughtful, solutions-oriented mindset to complex situations. My experience has taught me how to be both a strong advocate and a quiet supporter, depending on what’s needed. Whether I’m holding space during labor, navigating court documents, or guiding a candidate through a career transition, I lead with empathy, professionalism, and integrity.
