Shana came to TRU after graduating from the University of Cincinnati with her Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Midwifery in 2022. Shana’s career in women’s health began soon after the delivery of her first son, which inspired her transition in specialties from surgical/ trauma ICU to a labor and delivery nurse in 2016. As a nurse, Master’s student, and Certified Nurse Midwife, her approach has always been governed by her desire to make mothers feel empowered and respected in their birthing experience and to help guide mothers and their families through the process with not only expertise but empathy. Shana moved to Beachwood, NJ with her husband and two sons from their home in Mobile, AL in order to begin her time at Tru. She enjoys spending her family time exploring and discovering everything about a very different part of the country.
