get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

not only do I love children, but it is a true privilege to take care of the medical needs of children and at the same time develop long-lasting relationships with their families.

I like working with kids because...

I have a front row seat to the nearly always positive viewpoint of a child. Even on the most stressful day, a child will say something funny, or give you a hug, and it changes everything.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

they are committed to quality care for children and making a difference in their lives and the lives of their families.

Dayton Children's is special because...

they truly value the relationships they build with patients, families and their employees and they offer a wide variety of specialties to meet children's unique healthcare needs.
