Laura Gabriela Guzman, has a bachelor’s in Nutrition from the Universidad del Valle de Atemajac in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and is endorsed by the Washington State Children's Mental Health Association. Laura is passionate about perinatal, infant and early childhood work because it has given her the opportunity to work with and meet a wide variety of diverse families. Laura is excited about raising awareness of the connection between infant and early childhood development, children's mental health, culture, and feeding. From her perspective, we learn to relate to food from an early age through the eating habits that we observe at home, as well as the habits, preferences, and customs, primarily of our parents or caregivers, which conditions our eating preferences and the state of health in adulthood. The language that makes her soul happy is Spanish. Laura is a firm believer in advocating as a professional and human being for the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community, raising awareness of diversity, equality, and inclusion in every connection and collaboration she has. For Laura, in the cultural context, meals with family and friends are opportunities to learn and interact, having after-dinner conversations, celebrating special occasions, and drinking coffee. All these moments Laura appreciates and enjoys especially with her children, friends, and family.
