I knew at a young age, probably around twelve years old, that I should be working with babies and also with people who needed to be helped. The field of nursing was very attractive to me as it allowed me to fulfill both of those goals. My education at SUNY Stonybrook on Long Island, NY, provided me with the bachelor's degree in Nursing that I needed to start my career. I realized that understanding the breastfeeding piece of childbirth was going to be essential to my work and I began the educational track that allowed me to become a Lactation Consultant. I've now been doing this work for over thirty years.
