Two amazing kiddos call me mom, ages 12 and 8. Nursed them both for the first 2.5 years of their lives. I have about 5 years cumulative personal breastfeeding experience. As a huge shy extrovert and long talker, it certainly took me the first quarter of my life to come to terms with the counterintuitive truth that while I am nervous and shy, I love people and I bloom in social environments. I love to talk with others. Using my education and experiences to guide others to thrive in their lives has been a great joy in my life and allows me a plethora of opportunities to learn from community members as well. I have experience working in Youth Development, Childhood Obesity Prevention, Health Communications, Wellness Coaching, Substance Use Prevention, and Employee Wellness Promotion. I homeschooled my own children for several grades. I have worked as a health educator in Read more a wide range of roles. My non-profit work includes one on one lifestyle coaching, hosting webinars, writing newsletters, coordinating family events, leading in classroom SEL and prevention lessons, as well as leading afterschool and summer programming for youth. Learning is a lifelong journey, so I’m always chasing down relevant certifications. My life passions, what you’ll catch me reading about and volunteering in, are teaching, coaching, mentoring, maternal and infant health, Coordinated School Health, healthy weight interventions, mental health, human lactation, and Michigan waterway conservation. Public health encompasses everything we do daily, which is why I obtained my BS in Public Health from Wayne State University. My foremost passion and skills are in the perinatal period; thus, I became a Certified Lactation Counselor. My own two beautiful children and my work with the YMCA drove me to also specialize in youth wellness promotion and enrichment. I have an Adult and Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid certification. I am a Certified Group Exercise Instructor. The hunger to work across wellness specialties, mother in a conscious and compassionate capacity, and still function as a social human, inspired me to create my business, Lactation Lighthouse.
