​As a public health professional with a background in maternal child health nursing, I bring a range of skills and expertise to my lactation practice.

 

I am a registered nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and I have a Masters degree in Nursing and Public Health.

 

I have supported families in hospitals, communities, and homes for over 20 years.

​

Equity and inclusion are core values to my work.

I am deeply committed to improving health equity and improving maternity and postpartum care in the United States.  

 

I served as an Americorps member, a Nurse Family Partnership Nurse Home Visitor, and a public health student volunteer in West Africa. I participated in multiple breastfeeding initiatives during my graduate work with the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene.  

​

I have worked with hundreds of families, and what I enjoy most about this work is educating families so that they feel empowered in their parenting choices.

​

I love to see the confidence develop in new parents as they become an expert in their own baby.

 

The first few months of parenting can be challenging, and I would love to help you on your parenting journey.​

​

I am grateful to all of the teachers I have had along the way, and especially all the families that I work with everyday. 

​

I love continuing education and have completed multiple courses on bottle refusal, oral function, reflex based feeding, motivational interviewing, and low milk supply.
