Women's Health and Midwifery DNP

I chose nurse-midwifery because of my long-standing passion for women’s health and perinatal care. My goal is to reduce maternal mortality rates by improving access to high-quality, equitable care. I am excited to continue this journey with the knowledge, skills and values I am developing in the CNM-DNP program.
