About

Biography

I’m a pediatric physician training as an allergy and immunology fellow. I treat patients with a wide array of ailments, including allergies, asthma, eczema and immunodeficiencies. I strive to meet patients and families where they are while providing evidence-based, individualized, compassionate care. I feel fortunate to have trained at Cincinnati Children’s, where the collaborative “team” approach with families and other health team members is embraced. It is my favorite part of patient care.

Prior to medicine, I served in the armed forces as an aviation officer, where I flew helicopters, deployed overseas, and learned the importance of leadership, humility and maintaining a sense of humor.

Professionally, I’m interested in clinical research, quality improvement and veteran health issues. I’m originally from the west side of Cincinnati. When I’m not at work, I enjoy making homemade wine, following Reds baseball, and traveling with my spouse and daughter (especially to the coast of Maine to visit family).
