What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote lactation consultant position where my clinical expertise and patient education skills can support mothers and infants through virtual care, delivering culturally sensitive, family-centered guidance from assessment to postpartum feeding success.

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Registered Nurse with more than 10 years of experience in maternal-child health, postpartum nursing, women’s health, patient education, and breastfeeding support. I provide breastfeeding assessment and management, prenatal and postpartum counseling, and newborn feeding support, using evidence-based feeding interventions to help mothers and infants thrive.

I also bring instructional experience, having served as a Nursing Instructor and Adjunct Nursing Instructor, where I directed clinical and simulation learning, evaluated student performance, and supported safe, competent nursing care. I’m fluent in English and Haitian Creole, and I’m committed to culturally sensitive, family-centered care—delivering clear clinical documentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and telehealth communication to support virtual lactation needs.
