I began my career in hospital labor and delivery, supporting families through birth and those first important hours of feeding. That experience showed me how much early feeding support can shape the days and weeks that follow, and sparked my interest in lactation. I later moved into birth center care, where I was able to follow families through pregnancy, birth, and up to six weeks postpartum, giving me a deeper understanding of how feeding changes once families go home and settle into life with a new baby. After having my second baby, I hired an IBCLC for feeding support, and experiencing expert, in-home lactation care for myself and my baby helped me realize I wanted to continue this work in a bigger way. Since then, I have worked alongside Amanda Bartles supporting families through all stages of feeding and early parenthood.
