I grew up in Northeast Ohio. When I was in grade school, I knew I wanted to be a doctor and help kids and families. I'm so happy I get to do that at Akron Children's. Here we truly treat patients and families as if they are our own family, which is so important. Besides my patients, my two sons inspire me to be a good example of caring for others. I earned my medical degree from University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and am board certified through the American Board of Pediatrics. I'm also a Fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics and a Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Northeast Ohio Medical University.
