Eva comes to Gateway Doula Group with a unique blend of public policy expertise, logistics mastery, and a genuine gift for connecting with people. Her Bachelor's degree in Public Policy, Planning, and Management from the University of Oregon, combined with a minor in Environmental Studies, gives her a deep understanding of systems—how they work, where they break down, and how to navigate them thoughtfully. But Eva's real strength lies in her ability to translate policy into practice and to create the kind of spaces where people feel seen and supported. Whether she's been a swim instructor building confidence in young swimmers, a registrar organizing complex logistics, or a bra fitter meeting clients with care and attention, Eva has consistently shown up as someone who listens, organizes, and creates pathways for others to thrive.

As our Program Coordinator, Eva is the backbone of our training infrastructure—the person who ensures that our doula and CHW cohorts receive the support, structure, and coordination they need to learn, grow, and become the skilled practitioners our rural communities deserve. Her experience across logistics management, data research, and administrative leadership means she understands not just the what of program coordination, but the why—that good organization is an act of care, and that attention to detail creates space for transformative learning. Eva embodies the Gateway philosophy: one cohort, one doula, one family, and one thoughtfully coordinated pathway at a time.
