Overview
Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is focusing on the GI system, while taking care of the whole child. I believe in developing a care team with family and caregivers of patients, and value shared decision-making. I will always make medical decisions for patients that I would want for my own children. | Why I entered medicine | I have always been interested in science. My favorite childhood activities were looking at droplets of water under my play microscope, using a home chemistry set and playing the game Operation. I was fascinated by science but drawn to medicine because I admired my mother's career as a nurse. Her dedication to the care of patients and the joy she received from it was contagious. | Community involvement | I am a youth sports coach. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my wife and four children. We love the outdoors; hiking, paddle boarding and visiting national parks. I also enjoy cooking and live music.

LVPG Pediatric Gastroenterology-1210 Cedar Crest
Philosophy of care | I feel that treating the whole patient is very important in medicine. A disease or diagnosis can affect people very differently, so individualized treatment plans are the norm. To find the best way to treat you, I first consider your personal needs and how your diagnosis and treatment may affect other aspects of your life. | Why I entered medicine | I got into pediatrics because I have always enjoyed working with children. My mom was a special education teacher. After working during high school and college as a nurse technician at a long-term care facility for medically complex children, I knew I wanted to go into medicine, specifically pediatrics. During training I cared for children who had gastrointestinal disorders, including intestinal failure and inflammatory bowel disease, sparking my interest and passion in gastroenterology. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my husband, 2-year-old daughter and French bulldog Linus. Together we love to travel and explore new places. In my spare time I love to cook and bake. I also enjoy photography and snowboarding.
