Joining Southwest Pediatrics has been a dream come true! When I was a patient at Southwest Pediatrics, my pediatrician was kind, trustworthy, patient, calming, and supportive. At my 12-year well child check, he asked me if I ever thought of being a pediatrician.  Now, I am excited to join Southwest Pediatrics and provide care to another generation. 

My approach is to be kind and get to know my patients and their families. I enjoy supporting new parents during the first days of life with their newborn baby. I love joining toddlers and their parents in laughing and being goofy as they explore the world. I am always excited to hear about my school-age patients’ latest interests and activities. As my patients grow into their teens, I strive to be a trustworthy advocate.  I do this by building respectful and nonjudgmental connections with them. I am grateful to see them grow into healthy and happy adults.

Outside of clinic, I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy being outdoors, gardening, hiking, rowing, making music, cooking, and working on 50-year-old snow blowers.
