I have my BCIT specialty in Perinatal nursing, VIU Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Douglas College Breastfeeding Counsellor certification and have been a Board Certified Lactation Consultant since 2009.
Aside from my career as a RN, I am also a mother to five children with three being born in hospital by physicians and two by Midwife at home.
