I love catching babies, but what I really find most rewarding is changing a woman's life by giving her exceptional care and empowering birth that stays with her through so many life events. If you are passionate about nurse-midwifery, follow that passion. Don't give up! Dream big! Work hard, follow through and you will reap the rewards.
