Bio: I was born in Cincinnati Ohio and although most of my extended family still resides in Ohio, when I was ten we moved to Colorado. After college I pursued graduate school in Ohio because my older brother received his medical training from the same school. At that point, I met my husband, Bob and we were married in 2001. After completion of Bob's Emergency Medicine residency at the Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio in 2004, we moved west to be closer to family. We also had our amazing son Robert during that year. As fate or luck would have it we were pulled back to the southeast in 2005 and have adopted Clarksville as our home. When not at work, we try to spend as much time together as possible and now we are pursuing boating as a family and all that it entails.

Although I trained in Family Practice I have been fortunate enough to work in Pediatrics for over five years now, and I have to say I never tire of seeing kids grow and change. I learn something from my patients on a daily basis because children truly keep you in the moment. I am thankful to work in a specialty where you get to interact with the whole family and those connections are invaluable. It is easy to go to work when your colleagues become a second family to you and I have always enjoyed that aspect of working with Centennial Pediatrics. I look forward to being more of a regular face in the Clarksville office.
