get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I am interested in the science behind these disorders enjoy working with challenging medical cases. Whether it is an emergency case or a complex oncological condition, I feel lucky to be part of a medical team that can help kids and families find help and cures. I also wanted to spend my career making a difference and fulfilling my passion for teaching the next generation.


I like working with kids because...

Children are truly innocent and should never have to experience serious illness. I feel lucky every day that I have a chance to make them better.


I chose Dayton Children's because...

It was abundantly clear that they care deeply about the children they care for and strive every day to make sure the care here is top notch.


Dayton Children's is special because...

It's all about the community!
