Anne graduated with a masters degree in Speech Pathology from Rush University in 2008.

With over a decade of experience as a speech-language pathologist in a Level III NICU, Anne has worked with hundreds of premature and medically fragile neonates with dysphagia and feeding difficulties. Anne decided to advance her skill set by becoming an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant and provides breastfeeding support to dyads in both the NICU and in her private practice. Anne is the co-author of a standardized infant feeding assessment tool, the SMART tool, which is being implemented across the Midwest region of Advocate Health. She participates in research to improve feeding outcomes alongside her colleagues Ravi Mishra, MBBS, MD, FAAP and Cynthia Lira-Crame, MSN, RNC-NIC, NPD-BC, with their work being disseminated locally and nationally. As a mother to a former preemie herself, Anne is passionate about laying a positive foundation for feeding skill development in the NICU, with a focus on caregiver education.
