After graduating high school in 2018, I moved to Tabuk, Philippines to pursue my love of midwifery.  I am attending National College of Midwifery with the intent to become a certified professional midwife and to share the gospel with the women and families who come through the clinic.

             My passion for midwifery and missionary work came after I spent the summer of 2016 in Zambia, Africa doing medical work. I saw a lot of women come through the clinics with babies, and I heard countless stories of women or babies who died during childbirth. I was able to see the need for Christian missionaries and adequate healthcare. 

            In 2016 I was able to witness the birth of a friend's 7th baby, and I realized that I want to dedicate my life to helping women overseas who don't have access to proper medical treatments, equipment, or sanitation like she did. I want to join with other midwives and health professionals to bring the maternal and infant mortality rate down in developing countries, all while sharing the Gospel.
