"Hi!  My name is Stevie Lee  and I am a Breastfeeding Peer Counsel through PCHD. I was inspired to take this job because of my personal experience with breastfeeding. I am a mother to four wonderful children that range from a teenager to under a year old. I have loved the bond that was developed with my babies through breastfeeding them. I grew up in Monroe City. After graduating I moved to Maryland to obtain my Bachelors of Science Degree in Finance. I then moved to back home and live in Hannibal. I have years of experience working in both public and private school systems as an administrative assistant. My passions revolve around my family and faith. Date nights with my loving husband are few and far between, but we do enjoy sporting events and live music, when we do have a little getaway. Typically we can be found at our children’s sports or school/church events. I have enjoyed working with breastfeeding mothers to cheer them on during challenging, but extremely rewarding, stages of their nursing journey. I love being an encouraging support system for each one of them."

"Hi! I am Rhiannon Terrill, your Breastfeeding Peer Counselor in Hannibal, MO. I live in Hannibal with my husband of 16 years, Shane, and our FIVE boys! I have a bachelor’s degree in teaching, currently collecting dust somewhere in my basement. I have 7 years of personal breastfeeding experience with my own children and have been providing informal breastfeeding consulting and support for over 13 years with my friends and family. I have been in this role for 3+ years and continue to be amazed that something I have done for free, for years turned into a paying job! I love having the opportunity to work with a mom to identify issues and be there for her when she is so tired she can hardly think. I truly believe that helping a mother successfully breastfeed, emotionally changes her for life. I am in the business of empowering moms and I love it!”

"Hi! My name is Judy Ray. I have worked for Pike County Health Department Home Health & Hospice since May 2016 as a Certified Aide, and I love it! As a Home Health Aide, I assist our patients with personal hygiene needs from bed baths, showers, to standing near by in case of a need. I also try to spend time just visiting with the patient, as some have limited visitors. The part of my job that I love the most is working with our hospice patients and their families. I often form a bond with them and truly consider it an honor and privilege to be asked to care for their loved one and to be a part of their lives. I have met some wonderful and memorable people. Working here is actually a retirement job for me, as I am a retired public school teacher. I ended my career in education at Louisiana R-11 School District as a Speech Language Pathologist. I attended Fontbonne University in Claton, Missouri and Ritenour High School in Overland, Missouri. I enjoy working with people and both of these positions have allowed that. Bowling Green has been my home for 28 years. I moved here from Hannibal with my son, Scott. I am a member of the Pike County Fair Board and Good Shepard Lutheran Church. I am a past member of the Louisiana Elementary Bullpup Boosters, the Bowling Green Jaycees and the Region III Council for Developmental Disabilities."
