I’ve been an IBCLC since 2016 however, I have enjoyed supporting breastfeeding families for much longer. I’ve been an RN for 15 years and have worked as a Public Health Nurse in Family Health for the last 10 years. I have taught breastfeeding class for WIC participants, provided breastfeeding support and work with families in stressful situations. I have past hospital experience including labor/delivery and postpartum as well as med/surg. I have breastfed all 4 of my children and went through different challenges and struggles with each and that greatly increased my passion for helping families meet their breastfeeding/chestfeeding goals. I have tremendous empathy and respect. I want families to feel empowered when caring for their newest loved ones. I believe everyone deserves support; you are not alone.
