Research information:

My research focuses on health promotion through the support of breastfeeding as well as in the context of medical education. With my research team, we have been looking at the breastfeeding knowledge gaps of the medical community, and are looking at ways to target them. We aim to help medical professionals adequately support breastfeeding, so as to increase breastfeeding rates in the general population, and improve the health of our children.
