I’ve always known I wanted to work in healthcare. Both of my parents are physicians, and growing up around medicine made a strong impression on me. My mother is a pediatrician, and from an early age I loved the idea of being able to care for children and support families.

I was drawn to Mountain Park Health Center because of its interdisciplinary approach to care. I value being able to collaborate closely with dietitians, behavioral health professionals, and other team members to provide comprehensive, whole‑person care. Mountain Park truly feels like a medical home, both for patients and for providers.

When you bring your child in for an appointment with me, you can expect me to be warm and attentive. I strive to create a comfortable environment for children while also making sure parents feel heard. I take time to listen carefully to questions and concerns so we can work together to support your child’s health.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in healthcare is to never underestimate a parent’s intuition—especially a mother’s—when it comes to their child. That perspective plays an important role in how I approach care.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading thrillers and historical fiction, walking my dogs, exercising, going to concerts, and spending quality time with friends and family.

A fun fact about me is that I have a dog named Scrappy who is a tripod. She was hit by a car just two weeks before we adopted her, but despite everything she’s been through, she’s incredibly loving and full of joy. We also have another dog named Gumby, and both are very much part of our family.
