Meet Our Founders

Originally from the Midwest, I moved to Arizona following a year and a half of travel nursing, fell in love with the state and never turned back. I knew that I had more to offer and Arizona felt like the beginning of my new chapter. I have been working in Labor and Delivery since 1997, starting as a scrub tech and later becoming a labor nurse at the bedside in 2001. I have a passion for educating and offering personalized care to meet the unique needs of each individual, facilitating their birth experiences. Working with women during their most intimate and vulnerable moments, empowering them and involving their support system, fills my heart daily.

Our Why
We founded UR My Sunshine because we’ve witnessed firsthand, as bedside labor nurses, the significant gap in education and understanding among expectant parents. Too often, families come to the hospital feeling uncertain and anxious, unsure of their options and unprepared to advocate for themselves. We believe that this lack of confidence can be transformed through education and personalized support, empowering families to make informed decisions and take ownership of their birth experience. Our dedication to serving women extends beyond clinical care, offering emotional, mental, and physical support that truly makes a difference.
Our ultimate goal is to enhance the birth experience for every family, ensuring they feel empowered, informed, and supported. At UR My Sunshine, we recognize the importance of creating a calm and positive environment, where parents can confidently welcome their little sunshine into the world.
