As a psychologist, I take a collaborative approach to care. Parents and caregivers are the experts on their children, and it is my goal to hear their concerns and work with them to achieve the best outcomes in clinical care.
I began babysitting at a young age and then was a nanny throughout college. I knew working with children was what I wanted to do because it brought me so much joy. Pediatric neuropsychology allowed me to combine my interests in child development, the brain and psychology.
My research focuses on evaluating treatment interventions for children with epilepsy and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
In my free time, I love being active and spending time outside with my dog, Coco.
