Nancy fell in love with breastfeeding when she breastfed her own three sons, Carl, Peter, and Ben, who are now grown. She began helping breastfeeding families in 1982 as a volunteer. She became board-certified in 1991 and from 1993 to 2003 she founded and maintained a large private lactation practice in the Chicago area, where she worked with thousands of breastfeeding families. She still lives in the Chicago area, where she served for seven years as Chair of the Chicago Area Breastfeeding Coalition. In June 2011 she became one of the first ten Breastfeeding Counselors accredited by the new national organization Breastfeeding USA and she leads a monthly Breastfeeding USA Community Chapter for families, Baby & Me, which meets in Mundelein, IL. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of Breastfeeding USA and chairs the Leadership Team of the developing Mothers' Milk Bank of the Western Great Lakes.
In 2008 the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA) officially recognized Nancy’s contributions to the field of breastfeeding by awarding her the designation FILCA, Fellow of the International Lactation Consultant Association. Nancy was one of the first group of 16 to be recognized for their lifetime achievements in breastfeeding.
