About
I am triple board certified in Pediatrics, Pediatric Gastroenterology, and Pediatric Transplant Hepatology. I have specific expertise and interest in managing patients with acute and chronic liver diseases, including those who require liver transplantation. As part of our nationally recognized congenital heart disease program at the Herma Heart Institute, I also evaluate patients with complex congenital heart conditions that result in liver disease, which is my area of research. My research is currently focused on risk factors and mechanisms associated with the progression of Fontan-Associated Liver Disease, FALD. My primary goal is to help children and families who suffer from chronic liver diseases achieve the best possible care and quality of life.
In my free time, I enjoy watching my husband coach high school football on Fridays, cheering on Wisconsin Badger football on Saturdays, and the Green Bay Packers on Sundays. I enjoy board games, hot pilates, outdoor concerts, summers in Door County, and trying new foodie spots around town.
