My Training and Experience
I became a nursing parent in 2013 and, through my personal challenges, became passionate about evidence-based lactation support. I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2018.
I hold a BA in Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies from the University of Minnesota. My previous work includes roles as a La Leche League Leader and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Administrator for LLL of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
I am available for speaking engagements on a variety of topics including: breastfeeding, chestfeeding, queer and transgender inclusion in the lactation field; supporting parents with gender dysphoria; informed consent in lactation support; and supporting breastfeeding parents who are trauma survivors. I have presented at conferences held by La Leche League, iLactation, the Breastfeeding and Feminism International Conference, the Queer Birth Project, and the Minnesota Breastfeeding Coalition.
