What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to continue advocating for families while providing comprehensive care and education in a supportive environment.

As a passionate nurse and lactation consultant, I advocate for families and their newborns by providing emotional and physical support, delivering evidence-based education, and fostering confidence in infant care. My experience spans various healthcare settings, including Alamance Regional Hospital and Duke University Hospital, where I care for mother/baby couplets and high-risk patients.

With over 800 hours of clinical experience and a strong educational background, including a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I have honed my skills in critical thinking, communication, and patient advocacy. I am committed to promoting equity in patient care and have actively participated in initiatives such as the Breastfeeding Committee to enhance the quality of care provided to families.

My journey as a lactation consultant has allowed me to educate families through hands-on assistance and resource development. I believe in the importance of supporting families during their breastfeeding journey and strive to empower them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
