Jenna

Jenna has been a midwife since 2023. She lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with her chickens, basset hounds, daughter, husband and family. Jenna was called to midwifery because it allows her to center the individual, fight for reproductive justice and thread education throughout care. She is also called to midwifery as a way to connect with her Dominican heritage and the role of the partera in the community. In her spare time, Jenna loves reading books ranging from romantic comedies to nonfictional historical accounts, everything in the world of crafts and belly laughing to 90s sitcoms.
