I am an IBCLC and nurse who has spent my career supporting families in their communities since 2010.

 

Before moving into the postpartum and birth world, I worked as both a school nurse and home visiting nurse—experiences that shaped the way I care for families today. In 2017 I completed the Mary Rose Tully Training Initiative at the UNC Gillings School of Public Health, and began working with newly postpartum families through Family Connects in Durham, providing in-home support during those tender early days.

 

My approach to lactation support is grounded in a simple truth: our society offers far too little support for new parents and caregivers. Because of that, I center each consult around your goals—offering guidance, reassurance, and practical support so you can find what works best for you and your family.

​

When I’m not helping families meet their feeding goals, you’ll likely find me wandering around Durham, wrangling my kids and dog, rage gardening, or sewing my own clothes.
