      Jacque Shannon-McNulty
      “Hi Jacque! I'm the mother of a 10 year old daughter, and a nursing student, interested in becoming a midwife, and this is why I joined the Grayslake Homebirth and Midwifery Meetup Group. I think it would be great to meet with like-minded women and learn from professionals who are already in the field, as we don't learn much on the holistic side of childbirth in nursing school. Thanks for leading this group!”
