I grew up in the Milwaukee area but left to pursue my medical education out of state. I practiced primary care in New Mexico for 4 years before returning home. I joined Children's Wisconsin as an urgent care physician for 2 years prior to starting at River Glen as general pediatrician. I enjoyed the experience in urgent care but missed the long-term relationships with children and families that you find in primary care. I love watching children grow from tiny babies to independent teens. It is so rewarding to establish relationships with families for a shared goal of healthy and happy children and teens. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family including my husband and 2 children, read, and do crossword puzzles.
