I’m a nurse anesthetist specializing in pediatric anesthesia. My care philosophy is rooted in the profound understanding that you entrust me with your most cherished loved one. I have always recognized the weight of this responsibility, but it has become even more evident after having two children of my own. This personal experience deepens my commitment to providing compassionate and vigilant care. I approach each child as if they were my own, advocating with the utmost dedication and ensuring they receive the highest, most thoughtful level of care. I will care for your child as if they are my own.

My decision to become a nurse anesthetist stems from a deep-seated passion for critical thinking, patient advocacy and delivering compassionate care. During my pediatric training at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, IL, I was captivated by the intricacies of anesthetic management in such a delicate patient population. This experience was further enriched during my four years on the pediatric anesthesia team at UMass Medical Center, where I further honed my skills and passion.

When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my two young children, my husband Marc who is an orthopedic surgeon in Cincinnati and our crazy dog, Pepper.
