Care Philosophy
When I'm seeing a patient in the ER or urgent care, I know it's an overwhelming and stressful experience for that child and his or her family, and the last place they want to be. My goal is to make my patients and their families feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I want them to know that I'm here to listen to their concerns and provide their child with the most effective, timely, and compassionate care I can.

Personal Interests
If I'm not at the hospital, you can generally find me skiing, trail running, hiking with my dog, or adventuring with my husband.
