Liz Miller, Treasurer
My name is Liz. I am a mom to two amazing kids who keep me on my toes. I have breastfed both of my kids and loved my experience so much that I have become something of a breastfeeding advocate. I volunteered for a time as a moderator for an online Breastfeeding Support group and now I encourage parents in their breastfeeding journey.
I am also a small business owner as a bookkeeper and have a passion for all things numbers. I enjoy getting to help others organize and balance their books.
I am looking forward to being a part of KLIC and making a difference in breastfeeding here in Kentucky!
