I enjoy partnering with families as they guide their children through the many stages of growth and development. Born in Michigan and raised in several locations across the United States, I value learning about the unique experiences, traditions, and perspectives that each family brings to their child’s care.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and my medical degree from the University of Nevada, Reno. I especially enjoy working with families during the early years of life, when children are growing and developing rapidly.

One of my favorite parts of pediatrics is helping parents understand developmental milestones and supporting them as they nurture their child’s learning and independence.

I believe pediatric care works best when providers and families collaborate closely. I strive to create a supportive environment where parents feel comfortable asking questions and discussing their child’s development. By sharing knowledge and practical strategies, I hope to empower families and remind them that every child grows and learns at their own pace.
