About
I grew up in Wisconsin and after being away for 8 years during college and medical school, I was very happy with the opportunity to complete my training to become a pediatrician in Milwaukee. It is a privilege to be able to care for your children from when they are newborns until they are adults. I strive to focus on prevention of illnesses through a healthy lifestyle and making sure to involve your family in decision making. I understand the importance of considering your own family's unique life experiences and obstacles to make sure your children grow up to be the healthiest adults they can be. Becoming a parent myself has been the most wonderful experience of my life. She has made me realize how difficult it can be to be a parent at times, but how amazing it is at the same time. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, travel, and exercise outdoors.
