About

Biography

I specialize in pediatric hepatology and pediatric transplant hepatology at Cincinnati Children’s. My approach to patient care is simple: I treat every child as if they were a member of my own family. I understand that seeing a specialist often means you’re worried about your loved one’s health, and I strive to provide the same delicacy and compassion I would want for my own family.

I was drawn to pediatrics by witnessing the incredible resilience of children, and I’ve always been fascinated by the pathophysiology of liver disease. This passion drives me to stay current and committed to providing the best care possible for my patients and their families. I believe in working closely with families, listening to their concerns, and partnering with them to navigate each step of their child’s care.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter, husband and other family members. Traveling, riding my Peloton and cheering on the Cincinnati Reds are some of my favorite ways to relax and recharge.
