I began my career as a Registered Nurse at Children's Hospital in 1992.  After completing my education to become a pediatric nurse practitioner, I spent 25+ years in primary care outside the Children's System.  In early 2025, I came back to Children's Wisconsin Urgent Care, and I have loved every minute of it.  I was raised in Milwaukee, earned both of my degrees in Wisconsin, and am proud to be back as part of the premier organization for kids in the state- and I feel like my life and career have come full circle.  I feel privileged to be able to help parents be reassured when they are worried about their children, and the energy, honesty, and cuteness of our patients make that job really fun.   

In my free time, I enjoy reading, painting, and spending time with my family including my husband and two adult daughters,  and our dogs and cats.
