Born and raised in Vienna, Austria. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Psychology. I attended Columbia University in New York, where I received my master's in Occupational Therapy.  

​

I am both a licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), with an advanced practice in feeding, eating, and swallowing (SWC). I am also certified in Neonatal Touch & Massage (NTMTC). 

​

I have spent the majority of my career, 13+ years, working with pediatric patients and their families in a Level IV NICU and the pediatric cardiac ICU.
 

I have helped healthy newborns, premature infants and children with complex medical diagnosis (such as cardiac transplant, congenital heart defects, extreme prematurity, and more), to breast feed, bottle feed, eat solid foods and achieve their developmental milestones.

 

I am passionate about working with baby's and their families and helping them to progress and improve towards their individual goals.
