Greenwood Alliance for Breastfeeding Cyber-support (Greenwood ABCs)

lmactag — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:01:27 -0400

The Greenwood Alliance for Breastfeeding Cyber-Support (Greenwood ABCs) was developed out of a need for a community alliance that could offer formal support for breastfeeding. Greenwood has so many wonderful resources for breastfeeding mothers, but without a community alliance, many women remained unaware of the information. The Greenwood ABCs is an interdisciplinary group of professionals, mothers, and community leaders that serve as a forum for addressing breastfeeding issues. We hope that you will find this website helpful and easy to access.

I have been a board certified lactation consultant for 4 years now. I really enjoy my job. I work at St. Francis Eastside. I majored in Nutrition and Food Science at Clemson University and got my Master's in Nutrition from the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City Kansas. I worked in the Kansas City WIC program for 2 years before moving back home. I completed a special Lactation internship to allow me to become a board certified lactation consultant and I worked as a Pediatric Dietitian for 2 years before accepting my current position.
