Biography

When I was growing up, my pediatrician inspired me to be a provider and to work with children. He was reliable, kind and always willing to answer my mom's phone calls — even at his home — whenever one of us was sick. He never rushed appointments and he took the time to explain things to us.

As a nurse practitioner in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, I treat each patient and family fairly and kindly. My care is inclusive, and I work hard to advocate for parents and children. Families know their children best and I value their opinions.

In my free time, I enjoy reading.
