She has a BA and is completing a MA in Communication where her thesis is focused on how doctors communicate with Deaf women giving birth and how communication styles affect the woman through labor and delivery. Jerri’s goal as a doula is to continue to support and empower Deaf women during their pregnancy, labor and delivery.
