My Background

I'm a first time mom to a little boy. We spent hundreds with specialists, trying to make nursing work, but ultimately I ended up having to pump. Through the pumping process, I learned that I had a significant oversupply. I pumped for 10 months (720 hours I spent tied to a pump... but who's counting?!) After my kiddo was diagnosed with a dairy allergy at 6 weeks old, I had lots of milk leftover that was completely unusable.. I knew right away that I wanted to donate to caregivers in need. On top of that, being able to provide dairy-free milk to other allergy babes was a huge blessing as well. In total, I was able to help feed 13 babies at one point or another between regular + emergency donations during my breastfeeding journey.

My Motivation for Volunteering

I know that it takes volunteers on every side of this to make it work (donors volunteering their time to pump + bag, admins and moderators volunteering their time to run the pages, and owners volunteering their time and energy to ensure that the program works as it should). I was thankful to be able to contribute in another way, as I believe that milksharing is a monumental testament of "It takes a village".

My Life

I'm a first-time mama to a 1.5 year old boy. My husband and I have been together for 8 years; we have two doggos + a cat, and spend most of our 'free' time doing things as a family. I'm a photographer, executive assistant, and virtual assistant, and the biggest carb enthusiast you will meet!
