My personal experience navigating the complexities of the healthcare system invigorated my passion for maternal health and inspired me to become a nurse-midwife. Although my path to nurse-midwifery has not been straightforward, my life and career experiences have given me a foundation providing holistic care through the lens of data, public health, and individual patient experiences. Nurse-midwives are uniquely positioned to transform the system for all birthing individuals by creating a community of coordinated care with diverse health and wellness professionals to support the complexities of the journey into parenthood.From collaborating with researchers, user experience designers, and engineers to build customized online communities at PatientsLikeMe to working with public health colleagues and hospital administrators on performance measurement in Cameroon, my diverse experiences have continued to show me the value of empowering patients to be partners in their health. I love to listen to patient stories, not only to what is being said but also to hear what isn’t being said. I enjoy taking the time to understand the perspectives of others and, throughout my career, I have been commended on my adaptability. I would love to connect with others passionate about improving care for all birthing persons.
