I’ve always known that I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. Shortly after graduating with a degree in Biology from Cal Poly Pomona, I began working in the laboratory at Pomona Valley Hospital. I thoroughly enjoyed my career at that time, as it presented daily challenges that were significant, yet gratifying.
Roughly a year after that, my husband and I decided that it was the right time to start a family. I never imagined how that decision would impact my life. The experience of pregnancy and childbirth affected me in such a profound way, it ultimately led to a change in my career path.
A true personal transformation occurred after the incredible experience of pregnancy and birth. I enjoyed this time in my life more than anything else in the past, and I knew I had to channel this milestone into something that could be shared with others. As a result, I took a leap of faith and became a childbirth educator.
I love my job. It allows me to share the things I have enjoyed most in my life, namely pregnancy and motherhood. Becoming a mother has been, by far, the greatest accomplishment of my life, and the thing I am most proud of. I am very grateful to work in a field that I am truly passionate about.
