Biography

As a pediatrician, I believe that caring for a child is a partnership between the family and the doctor. I appreciate when the families I work with have researched treatments they are interested in and we come up with a plan together.

I was inspired to become a pediatrician because I was born prematurely and have always appreciated the care I received from my doctor.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young daughters. We love the beach and going sailing.
