About
Biography
I am a radiologist with subspecialty expertise in pediatric neuroradiology. My clinical practice focuses on interpreting images of the brain, spine, head and neck. Using imaging tools such as MRI, CT, ultrasound and X-ray, I help care teams diagnose conditions and guide treatment decisions for infants, children and teens.
As both a physician and a parent, I value partnering with families and collaborating closely with specialists across Cincinnati Children's to provide thoughtful, personalized care during a child's medical journey.
I was fortunate to train with distinguished mentors in pediatric neuroradiology whose diverse perspectives helped shape my approach to care. I'm grateful to be part of the multidisciplinary team at Cincinnati Children's, where collaboration is central to delivering the highest quality care for children.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family.
