I was born in Pittsburgh and grew up around a lot of family and kids. From an early age, I sensed a connection with kids and I always had a motherly instinct. Wherever I go, kids are just taken to me and babies are drawn to me – smiling and wanting me to play with them.
Why I Treat Children
I can’t imagine not working with kids! The smiles on their faces are priceless. I wouldn’t want to do anything else. Kids amaze me every day. In so many ways, they are stronger than most adults – resilient.
What I'm Passionate About
I’m passionate about the kids. Seeing their faces each morning keeps me coming back and gives me the passion to help and be there for them during the tough times.
Get to Know Me
I like being a point-of-contact for families. It’s important to me to focus and cater to the needs of each individual family. As a hospitalist, I like working with a team of specialists to care for children. We have common goals.
