I’ve been working in surrogacy since way back in 2014! I started on the marketing side, but as I witnessed more journeys unfold, I naturally moved into coordination. Building real relationships with surrogates and intended parents has always been the heart of this work for me. After seeing so much love, trust, and transformation through this process, I completed my own surrogacy journey. Experiencing surrogacy from multiple perspectives shaped how I show up today!

When things in this industry became uncertain, walking away was never an option for me. For over a decade, my heart has been rooted in ethical surrogacy. When challenges arose, I stayed close to the families and surrogates I worked with, volunteering my time to make sure they were supported and safely guided forward. Advocating for this community is not something I take lightly, and commitment that I am committed to always following through on it.

When people are under stress, I tend to step into the role of counselor, action taker, and advocate. I want to know when someone is overwhelmed or frustrated so I can show up, help untangle what’s happening, and move things forward in a grounded way. I believe deeply that no one in this process should ever be treated as a means to an end. Everyone deserves to be seen as a whole human always!

People deserve honesty and protection throughout their surrogacy journey. That means clear expectations, realistic timelines, and ongoing communication, while honoring both the surrogate’s experience and the hopes of the intended parents. Putting humans first, to me, looks like education, transparency, inclusion, and prioritizing the health and safety of the surrogate and baby at every stage.

Built Together Surrogacy exists because three women chose to speak up when something didn’t feel right. We asked questions, made things uncomfortable, and refused to look away. I’m proud to be part of an agency that will always advocate for ethical practices, even when it’s hard. We come from different backgrounds, live in different places, and have different life experiences, but we’re deeply aligned in our values and our trust in one another.

I hope that after working with us, you feel truly seen and valued. I want this to feel like a safe space where you can ask questions, advocate for yourself, and walk away knowing we did everything we could to support your unique journey.

Outside of surrogacy, I stay grounded through strong friendships, daily meditation, regular sound baths, and spending time outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. After everything I’ve witnessed, my commitment to this community is stronger than ever! I believe surrogacy, when done with integrity and heart, takes patience, collaboration, and a village, and I’m honored to continue showing up for that village every day!
