I did my nursing school at McMaster University, and while there I fell in love with the maternal-child population. I had placements on a postpartum unit and on the Labour & Delivery unit at Oakville Trafalgar. This solidified my passion for the maternal-child area. Out of school, I was hired at a hospital and was trained in 3 different units - postpartum, paediatrics, and the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
It was here where I fell in love with helping moms to breastfeed, and I noticed how the power of knowledge was able to make a mom confident and re-assured. So, I decided to pursue a certification in lactation consulting! Currently, I am a certified breastfeeding specialist (CBS) and am on my way to becoming an international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC).
When not in the clinic, I am working my other nursing jobs, working out at the gym, involved with my church, and spending time with friends and family. I am very excited to be serving this community! You can check out my breastfeeding tips on my Instagram page: BirthingBeyondRN
