Amy is born and raised in Baton Rouge. She graduated with her Bachelors in Nursing from University of Louisiana in Lafayette in 2001 and her first job in nursing was in Postpartum care and GYN surgery. Amy worked as a Labor and Delivery nurse from 2002 until she moved to OB Home Health where she worked in prenatal care, in-home IV hydration, hypertension and diabetic education. She worked as a Travel Nurse in Labor and Delivery for 4 years before she started with Birth Center of Baton Rouge in 2015. Amy has been our nurse manager since 2018. 

Her OB instructor in nursing school was a certified nurse midwife and the first person to introduce her to the midwifery model of care. She got a chance to work with midwives when Baton Rouge General allowed Midwife privileges. These experiences allowed her the opportunity to compare midwifery care to hospital care, solidifying her love of natural birth and the desire to support women.
