I chose pediatric gastroenterology because I value the opportunity to care for children and families through both everyday concerns and complex chronic illnesses. My special interests in cystic fibrosis and pancreatitis have deepened my passion for helping children navigate conditions that require long-term, multidisciplinary care. I believe in building strong partnerships with patients and families, taking time to listen, educate, and create individualized care plans that help each child thrive both medically and personally.

One of the most meaningful parts of my work is seeing children regain confidence and return to the activities they love—whether that means feeling well enough to attend school regularly, participate in sports, or simply enjoy being a kid again. I am committed to providing compassionate, thoughtful care that supports not only physical health, but also quality of life for the entire family.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the beauty of Wisconsin. I especially love hiking, with waterfall hikes being some of my favorite adventures. Whether we are discovering new trails, visiting state parks, or exploring small towns across Wisconsin, I appreciate opportunities to connect with nature, recharge, and create lasting memories with my family.
