I have been a board certified lactation consultant for 4 years now. I really enjoy my job. I work at St. Francis Eastside. I majored in Nutrition and Food Science at Clemson University and got my Master's in Nutrition from the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City Kansas. I worked in the Kansas City WIC program for 2 years before moving back home. I completed a special Lactation internship to allow me to become a board certified lactation consultant and I worked as a Pediatric Dietitian for 2 years before accepting my current position.
