Barb grew up in New England and moved to the West Coast in her late teens. She graduated from Cal State Long Beach and then worked as a labor and delivery nurse in Arizona, where she met her husband Mike.
Next, they migrated to Oregon and began raising our family of four daughters. Upon retirement, they moved to Plainfield, MA.
When she discovered ITAV, seven years ago she was delighted to witness the beauty and hope of new families. She loves being able to help and nourish new parents in small ways, it reignites the joy she experienced being a mother.
