About Beth:
My experience working with infants and children and families goes back to 1994 when I graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I have worked in NICU, PICU, Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Transplant, and Pediatric Home Health. I have been a Certified Lactation Counselor since 2012 and an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2014. I was a lactation consultant at Women's Hospital for over 3 years.
Tambien, yo vivia en la Republica Dominicana y he trabajado en una clinica de salud alli. Entonces, si necesita ayuda en espanol, yo puedo ayudarle.
In addition to my clinical experience in pediatric nursing and lactation consultation, I have lectured at NC A&T, been interviewed on Fox News 8 and a podcast on http://mommyzlove.com, presented courses in Fetal Development at a local middle school, and I have served as an expert consultant at Tinyhood.
Here is a Lunch and Learn with local doula Amelia Mattocks about me and how I can help new families.
