U.S. Veteran and FNU Student Robyn Roche-Paull Helps Breastfeeding Mothers
FNU Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) student and U.S. Navy veteran Robyn Roche-Paull, BSN, RNC-MNN, IBCLC didn’t start out in the healthcare field. She was an aircraft mechanic in the U.S. Navy for six years. During this time, she met her husband and had her first child while on active duty, which brought on some major challenges. There was a lack of support and understanding for childbirth, breastfeeding, and caring for a child while on active duty. Policies weren’t in place, and it was expected that you return to your deployment six weeks after giving birth. Once her enlistment was up, Roche-Paull left the military and went to get her degree using her GI Bill. While getting her bachelor’s degree in human lactation, she began doing volunteer work, helping new moms work through breastfeeding.
