Personal Interests
I enjoy being in Colorado's nature - hiking, camping, and walking with my lovely dog. I also love being with my family and friends, playing tennis, and playing the piano. I love traveling, internationally especially, and learning about other cultures around the world. I am always open to deep, philosophical conversations as well as hearing inspirational stories.
Volunteer Activities
I am passionate about supporting families from underrepresented backgrounds with neurodevelopmental differences - I have spent time volunteering in special education classrooms locally in elementary schools as well as in Santiago, Chile. I am actively involved in our Family Advisory Council within our department, in Developmental Pediatrics.
