Philosophy:  My philosophy follows a patient-centered approach that values listening, collaboration and individualized solutions.  I want my patients to feel heard and empowered in decision making that impacts their mobility, independence and quality of life. 

Bio: My path to becoming a pediatrician took a slight twist when I discovered orthotics and prosthetics.  I was first introduced to this profession as a patient where I realized that it offered everything that I was looking for in a career - the perfect blend of art and science with patient care at its core.  I progressed in the field from an intern to an administrative assistant to attending Northwestern University where I received my Masters of Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2024. 

Outside of work, I enjoy aviation, photography, ultimate frisbee, dancing, road trips and spending time with my family, friends and pets.
