Kathy attended midwifery school and graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master's Degree in Nursing in 1994. She is certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives and is a licensed Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner in the state of Florida. She has attended more than 2,000 births during her 13 year career.  Kathy says the best part about being a midwife and nurse practitioner is the direct impact she has on developing trusting, comprehensive, and satisfying partnerships with the women and families she cares for.

Prior to her career in Midwifery, she participated as an RN in numerous Clinical Research trials through the Department of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the University of California at Irvine. Those trials included care of patients with severe hyper emesis (vomiting in pregnancy) and twin to twin transfusion syndromes among others. She has had her work published in the Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Neonatal Nursing.  Kathy continues her interest in clinical research with participation in numerous trials with Suncoast Clinical Research.  Kathy has several years experience in labor and delivery nursing.  She has also educated nurse midwife students and received Teacher of the Year award from the Community Based Nurse-Midwifery Education Program.

Appointments with Kathy can be arranged for well woman exams, family planning, and menopause concerns and of course pregnancy care. In her free time, Kathy enjoys yoga, working out, cooking, travel, and nature.

Kathy has a 20 year-old daughter who is attending college in California, majoring in biology.
