I'm a board-certified pediatrician with a deep passion for supporting children and families through every stage of growth and development. Growing up in Northern California, I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, before attending St. George's University School of Medicine. I completed my pediatric residency at Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York.

After residency, I spent five years practicing in a rural, underserved community in Arizona, where I provided outpatient care while also managing pediatric emergencies, newborn nursery coverage and hospital call. These experiences strengthened my ability to deliver high-quality, compassionate care in resource-limited settings.

I met my husband during medical school, and we're now blessed with two children - a daughter and a son - as well as our beloved Aussieton, Honey.

As a mother, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my practice. As Robin Williams once said, "My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings." I love being a pediatrician because I get to witness and support that same wonder every day - partnering with families to navigate their children's physical health, developmental milestones, mental wellness and the joys (and challenges) of parenting.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking our dog, exercising and traveling.
