Abigail earned her Master’s degree in speech language pathology from George Washington University in Washington, DC, and is a Certified Lactation Consultant.  She has experience in inpatient and outpatient pediatric and adult settings treating speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive disorders, and has focused her career primarily in dysphagia and feeding management with both adults and infants. She has prior experience in the neonatal intensive care unit and is an infant feeding specialist, specifically for medically complex infants, managing the issues that can occur with prematurity and breast/bottle feeding efficiency issues including tongue ties.  Abigail is very passionate about helping mothers using supplemental nursing systems and figuring out ways to make their feeding journey sustainable for them, so they have more non-feeding time to bond with their baby in other ways too! Abigail has been accepted to sit for the board examination to be recognized as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in September 2023 to further serve the community she works with. 

Outside of work, you can find Abigail strolling the Beltline or East Atlanta streets with her 2 year old son, and adorable lab-ish mutt leading the pack. She loves painting and traveling to new countries with her husband to immerse herself in new cultures. She especially loves exploring the parks, restaurants, and coffee shops in Atlanta. She grew up in Tampa, Florida and attended the University of Florida for her undergraduate degree, and also called Chicago home for several years.
