I am particularly passionate about the postpartum period of time when there are so many changes and challenges and am here to help you get through it! I feel so lucky to be a part of such a special time in someone's life! When I am not in session or delivering babies, I love spending time with my son playing with Legos, or baking cookies! I am so excited you are here and can't wait to work with you and your family!

I have lots of experience working in labor and delivery along with postpartum. I have two little girls and we love to travel, especially to the beach. Spring is my favorite season because of my birthday and all the pretty flowers that bloom. Family time is the best time for me. I’m available to talk any time and I enjoy individual teaching moments.

Community Outreach Manager
Hi, I’m Lisa, and I joined Moms2B October 2018. I’m from Columbus, Ohio, specifically the Linden area. I graduated from Franklin University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management.

Data Management Specialist
Hi! I'm Merriya, the Data Management Specialist here at Moms2B. Fun fact: I actually started working with Moms2B as a Public Health intern during my senior year at OSU, where I specialized in sociology. My passion is understanding ways to help people in the community feel more connected and supported throughout their lives. Analyzing trends in data over time as a result of these connections really puts into perspective how much of an impact programs and resources like Moms2B has on our community. In my downtime, I enjoy drawing, painting, baking, and playing video games with my son and his father.

Patient Navigator
Hello! My name is Shaelynn. I’m from Dayton, Ohio. While in Dayton, I received my bachelor's in psychology in 2020 from Wright State University. In 2023, I completed my master's degree in social work from Indiana Wesleyan University. My passion for working with pregnant moms and babies started when I interned with Catholic Social Services in Dayton during my master's program. During my time as an intern, I was able to see first-hand the problems that mothers have to deal with during and after childbirth, and I realized right away that there was an opportunity for me to help change the outcome for new moms and their babies. When I'm not working, I enjoy shopping, going to get a medi/pedi, cooking and spending time with friends and family.

Dietitian and Certified Lactation Consultant
Hi! I’m Susannah. Before joining the Moms2B team, I worked with pregnant moms in Toronto, Canada for 16 years. I love watching cooking shows and I find cleaning relaxing! I’m a good listener and I look forward to getting to know you and learning from you.

Child Development and Parenting Education Specialist
Hi! I am the child development/parenting educator here at Moms 2B. I have a degree in psychology and speech science from Denison University, and a master's degree in education from The Ohio State University. I have been involved in classroom or adult education for over 30 years. I began my career as a teacher of Deaf and hard of hearing students, and later became a parent educator. I love talking about babies and their growth and development, as well as the joys and challenges of parenting. I look forward to meeting you and your beautiful new baby!
