Bio

For as long as I can remember, breastfeeding has always been a passion of mine. Even before I had my own children, I knew I wanted to breastfeed them. When I had my first daughter, I was so excited to share this special bond with her. I quickly realized that this was not an easy journey or as magical as everyone made it out to be. I sought for resources to help me far and wide to no avail, but I was determined to make it work. I’m happy to say that I did, on my own, with little support. There were times I wanted to give up, but I kept going. After that experience, I realized that this is something that I never want any other mommy to go through. I wanted to be the support system that I so desperately searched for. After ten years of working as a school teacher in the public education system, it was then that I realized that I wanted to take care of children (and mommies) in a different way. It was shortly thereafter that I decided that I wanted to become and IBCLC. I wanted to strive to be the best and offer my mommies and babies that greatest care that I could. Partnering up with fellow IBCLC’s and caregivers allows me to constantly stay connected to bring my families that best clinical care. Knowing that I can help families realize that they are not alone in this journey, that there is support, and that I am part of it is the most rewarding feeling in the world.
