About Me

What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

When I was a little girl I would tell my parents I wanted to be a princess eye doctor.  Over the years, I realized my interests included more than just the eye. 

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

I love working with children, seeing them grow and develop.  I appreciate their resilience and their ability to recover from illness and their endless energy and excitement. 

How do you connect with your patients?

I believe it is important to involve the entire family in the care of a child.  Parents, siblings and the patient all play roles in the well-being of a child.  This increases trust and opens barriers to more open communication. 

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I really enjoy playing with my two children, whether going for a hike, making tie-dye t-shirts, trying new science experiments out, on a family walk around the neighborhood, or cooking together - I love spending time with the fam! I also like to stay active. My current interests are OrangeTheory, tennis, and golf, I am also an avid runner. I also have two dogs we enjoy playing with who join us for family walks. Visiting with family is very important to me, also.

What is your advice for your patients?

Educate yourselves (to the parents) and feel free to contact me with questions or concerns.  Also, a well-balanced diet and lifestyle with family support create an incredible life.
