I found my way to family-building because...
I wanted to apply my evaluation skills to work that could feel truly purposeful and uplifting. This work has allowed me to channel my expertise in away that genuinely impacts people’s lives in a meaningful way.
Your journeys have taught me that...
Witnessing the profound empathy of others has been amazing to see. It reinforces my belief in the goodness of others and offers a renewed sense of hope.
I keep hope alive by...
Spending time with my dog. She reminds me to not take life too seriously and to enjoy the little moments right in front of us.
A moment that never gets old for me is...
The genuine excitement others have to be able to help people experience parenthood and the gratitude others feel to have the opportunity to build a family.
My really good day looks like…
Sleeping in, going for a coffee walk, spending time by water and cooking a really delicious meal that tastes as good as it looks.
