I am a nurse practitioner with a certification in pediatric primary care. I work in pediatric orthopaedics but have also worked in the emergency and infectious disease departments.

I was inspired to pursue my career when I spent the summer after college graduation volunteering at a rural orphanage in Guatemala. It was there I decided that I wanted to have an impact on the health outcomes of children. Since coming to Cincinnati Children’s, I have earned the CARES Service Standards award, which stands for Courteous, Attentive, Respectful, Enthusiastic and Safe.

In my research, I am interested in international adoption, antibiotic management, pain management and vaccinations.
