About Melanie

Melanie was born and raised here in New Jersey by her wonderful Colombian parents. She was fortunate that her parents taught her Spanish and raised her with many different Colombian traditions. Melanie also enjoys spending time with her loved ones, as well as with her four beautiful cats, Cheese, Bloom, Mango, and Honey. However, growing up, she was not only an only child but also battled many lifelong chronic conditions. Let’s just say, as a Latina woman, she understands how it feels when receiving care at a medical center can be daunting.

This is why Melanie embarked on the path of helping many vulnerable populations from different communities. She is well-acquainted with, and have experienced, the health disparities, inequities, and inequalities that many of you may have faced and felt.

Therefore, Melanie is using what she loves to do, which is educating and supporting women and their families during pregnancy and all the way through their postpartum period.

She strongly believes that all women and their families deserve to be helped, supported, heard, and respected. That’s exactly what you will receive with Melanie.
