I am glad to be on lactnet to have the opportunity to share and learn with so many of you. I have been working in the field of breastfeeding & human lactation since 1977 and still love it. I have a husband (who does everything), 3 children, dog & cat-----work fulltime at the Lactation Support Center at Mercy Hospital South in Charlotte-----and am a doctoral student at the Univ. of South Carolina in Columbia in Health Adm------am on a few volunteer boards such as Human Services Council and Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Board in my community and on the ILCA board. Since I am on vacation this month until school starts in June, I have time to visit with lactnet. I look forward to talking with you this month and to seeing you at our lactnet meeting in Scottsdale.
