When I graduated from the Academy of Health Careers in 2004 I had dreams of becoming a nurse and making a difference in the community in which I grew up, Central Florida.  I was working as a administrative assistant for an Ob-Gyn practice while I was obtaining my AA degree.  I also loved practicing yoga at that time and obtained my certification as a prenatal yoga instructor. Through this I explored my passion to help women through their transition of pregnancy and to help prepare them for childbirth.  I wanted to do more so I researched and became a birthing/postpartum doula.  With my passion for pregnancy and birth I decided to work for a birthing center after I graduated nursing school; I LOVED my job.  I worked clinic, assisted in labor & deliveries, and postpartum care. I spent many hours (especially at night) taking care of these beautiful families.  I learned a lot from my peers and mentors but I learned the most from the moms I took care of.  After a couple of years my life took me in different directions and I worked for multiple Ob-Gyn offices as a nurse; I loved women's health.  I helped women of all ages, at different points of theirs lives and with completely different needs; It gave me a broad spectrum of experience.  Fast forward to 2015 when I gave birth to my daughter.  I had every intention breastfeeding and did so for 2 1/2 years, overcoming my own set of obstacles.  Understanding the need for support, I volunteered to lead a free breastfeeding support group.  I wanted to become more educated so I could help and do more for women, so I became a Certified Lactation Counselor and eventually an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.  I returned back to work as an IBCLC alongside physicians and midwives helping women with their lactation journey.  In January 2020 I  decided to focus solely on lactation support and became The Nursing Nurse.
