get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

pediatric optometry always peaked my interest in school. Once I learned I enjoyed it, I never looked back.

Dayton Children's is special because...

they make quality of patient care the highest priority.

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

I am excited to join a new specialty department and bring quality eye care to patients in the area.

I like working with kids because...

Kids are entertaining and challenging all in one breath. They keep me on my toes and never fail to surprise me. It's the most rewarding when they are successful!

The nurse was amazing with our daughter. She was payout and kind and comforting. Or daughter was nervous about the eye drops and she comforted her. The doctor was really kind. She explained everything clearly. Very pleased with our visit.
