I found my way to family-building because...

My own personal experience navigating fertility treatment. Having been both a patient and a professional, I have a unique appreciation for the emotional, medical, and logistical aspects of the journey. What has kept me passionate over time is the opportunity to help individuals and families achieve their dreams of parenthood.

Your journeys have taught me that...

Someone’s compassion, selflessness, and commitment to supporting intended parents continually reinforce the profound impact that reproductive collaboration can have on the lives of others. Witnessing individuals dedicate their time, energy, and bodies to help someone else achieve parenthood has left a lasting impression on me.

I keep hope alive by...

Seeing lives transformed through the creation of families- a powerful reminder that hope can push through challenging experiences. Even in the face of setbacks and uncertainty, people continue to move forward with remarkable courage and optimism.

A moment that never gets old for me is...

Witnessing candidates’ genuine desire to help others build a family. I am continually inspired by their generosity and willingness to play such an important role in someone else’s path to parenthood. Each evaluation reminds me that family building is made possible not only through science, but through extraordinary acts of human kindness.

My really good day looks like…

Time to rest and recharge, enjoying great food, and sharing laughter-filled conversations with a close friend. Nothing compares to getting a hug from my daughters. Ending the day unwinding with an entertaining reality television show is a fun finishing touch.
