About
I am a pediatrician with University Health, passionate about helping families navigate their children’s health with confidence, compassion and care.
I want to make the parent's job of raising their child easier. I am here to support them and be part of their team.
I was drawn to the health care field by my family’s legacy in medicine. My grandfather was a World War II surgeon, and my mother was one of the first women to graduate medical school and a pioneer in mammography.
Philosophy of Care
As a pediatrician, I see my role as a trusted partner and support system for parents. My goal is to guide families toward optimal physical and mental health for their children while empowering parents to feel confident and informed in their decisions. I also want to help children reach their full potential in a nurturing home.
