Some of my very first childhood memories are of trying to keep up with my father as he made rounds in the newborn nursery on weekends at the hospital where he worked. As a young child, I would routinely give advice to family members over the phone which included. "Take Tylenol and Motrin as needed," mimicking what I had heard my father tell patients when on call. These early experiences created a desire to pursue medicine, and specifically, pediatrics. As a young adult, I personally experienced how illness within a family can affect dynamics. Through this experience, I became passionate about communication with families, specifically during times of their child's illness. I'm excited to join Cook Children's and to serve children and their families. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my husband, Matt, and dog, Bella.
