Bio: I feel so fortunate and could not ask for a better job than being a pediatrician. I fell in love with pediatrics during medical school and have never looked back. The thing I enjoy most is watching a child grow from a small helpless baby to a mature and independent adult. I feel blessed that I am able to have a small part in that process. I believe that building a foundation during childhood and adolescence can lead to a healthy lifestyle as an adult. My goal, in partnership with parents, is to foster that idea within each child that I take care of. I could not ask for a better practice to be a part of then Centennial Pediatrics in helping to fulfill those goals.

Although we are not originally from Tennessee, my husband Scott, daughter Greta and I have enjoyed living in beautiful Williamson County and look forward to raising our family here. Between work, tennis lessons and dance/gymnastics our schedules are busy, but what we enjoy most is spending time together. When I am able to get some me time I enjoy sewing projects and cozying up with a good book. An occasional TV crime drama is also nice too.
