Approach to Care
A lifelong love for children led me to pursue a degree in child development followed by pediatric nursing. Primary care pediatrics allows me to use my child development background and integrate it into the care of children. I love to teach and provide support to families of all different shapes and sizes. The ultimate reward is watching my patients grow into happy and healthy young adults.
