About
My family and schooling are an extremely important part of me. I went to medical school and residency at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I now enjoy visiting the city for Badger games and to spend time with my daughter who is a student there. I enjoy spending time watching my youngest daughter Sonia participate in her sports activities at her high school and being a part of that community. I’m proud of my son Cal who is going to Indianapolis this year to pursue a career in medicine. My husband Paul enjoys a career as a pilot at United Airlines. I’m happy to share my family with you.
I look forward to being a part of your team as you raise your children. I want the best for all my patients. I love hearing about all their awards and accomplishments at their well child checks and I hold your children as my own when they are sick. I feel like they are a part of my own family. I feel such an honor and privilege to be able to serve my community and look forward to meeting you.
