About
Biography
I am an experienced board-certified pediatrician specializing in breastfeeding medicine. I joined Cincinnati Children’s in September 2014 as a community breastfeeding liaison and a member of the Center for Breastfeeding Medicine. My particular interest is improving maternal and child health through the promotion and support of breastfeeding, especially in populations least likely to breastfeed. I am interested in community breastfeeding outreach and collaboration with partner organizations in the community.
