Sara Steelman, MPH, CLEC obtained her BS in Biological
Science from California State University, Fullerton and her
MPH from Grand Canyon University. During her final semester at Grand Canyon University, she interned at the Tulare
County WIC Program where she learned about the importance
of promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding. Her
passion for the promotion of breastfeeding led her to accept a
position at the Community Action Partnership of Kern WIC
program as the Regional Breastfeeding Liaison for Kings,
Kern, and Tulare Counties. During her time at WIC, she completed the UCSD Extension program where she earned the title
of Certified Lactation Educator/Counselor (CLEC). Her position as the Regional Breastfeeding Liaison allows her to educate healthcare professionals on the importance of breastfeeding as well as providing breastfeeding support to their patients.
