Caring for kids and supporting families is my life's calling. I'm also passionate about animals. Part of my specialty is working with families who have pets and helping parents teach kids about safe pet interactions. Being a children's doctor is my dream job. If I had to choose another it would be, "Professional Dog Foster Mom." I earned my medical degree at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and did my residency at Akron Children's. I am board certified in Pediatrics and Child Abuse Pediatrics, and am a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
