About

Biography

I am a physician assistant (PA) specializing in pediatric gastroenterology and liver and intestinal transplants. I strive to develop meaningful and compassionate connections with my patients and their families by providing whole-person-centered care. I offer services in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition as a member of the inpatient liver transplant team, where I have learned the intricacies of transplant medicine.

Before attending PA school, I worked as a patient care assistant at Cincinnati Children's in urgent care. Through this role, I discovered my passion for pediatric healthcare and developing meaningful patient connections. After becoming a board-certified PA, I fulfilled my dream of continuing my career at Cincinnati Children's, where I get to work with a patient population that I love.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking and spending time with family, friends and my cat, Bertha.
