Student Midwife 

Hello,
 

My name is Azure. I’m a second year student midwife at Bastyr University pursuing a Master’s in Midwifery. My journey to this profession has been long but transformative. I earned my undergraduate degree from UCLA with the initial goal of becoming an OB/GYN. However, everything changed when I had the privilege of supporting my cousin through the vaginal birth of her baby after three cesareans. Being her advocate during such a powerful experience made me realize I wanted to do more than support. I wanted to provide quality healthcare.

Prior to midwifery school, I managed a private medical practice in Laguna Beach, which gave me much experience with healthcare systems and patient care. I also mentor foster youth and find joy in spending time with my partner and relaxing by the ocean.

I’m deeply committed to delivering compassionate, culturally competent care and look forward to serving and empowering the communities I work with.
