Hi! I am Miranda Griswold! I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a student of Public Health working towards my Bachelor's at San Jose State University. I also pride myself on being a community advocate and organizer, building strong connections between people of Merced by running a community Facebook page, resource website, and volunteering with non profit organizations. I have two children and I am a member of their school's Parent Council. As a family we have four cats, love to be outdoors, attend Merced community events, and my kids are active in sports and my oldest is an actor with Playhouse Merced.
