What I Do
My goal is to help parents and patients navigate each step of development from birth through the adolescent years. I take time to listen and want each person to feel heard and understood at each visit. I believe that I am my patients’ advocate and I work diligently to establish a trusting relationship with patients and parents.
My special clinical interests are in breastfeeding medicine and newborn care. I am an international board-certified lactation consultant and love to help mothers on their breastfeeding journeys.
Why I Love My Work
The best part about my work is getting to celebrate growth milestones, school and sports accomplishments, and even bowel movements with my patients and their families. I love to laugh and going to work each day is a blessing to me.
Getting to Know Me
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my four children and my husband, Dr. Eric Bell. We love being outside, traveling, cooking, playing with our dog, and living in the moment. I personally love to run and have completed numerous half and full marathons and I also have a passion for reading.
