“I have always loved being around children, and science was my favorite subject in school. During my 22 years as a pediatrician, I have enjoyed the continuity of care and watching children grow and mature. I want parents to trust their instincts with their child, and to not be afraid to ask questions if they don’t know or understand something.

I’m married with three children, and we love to travel and ski. I also like to read, knit, and sew. I volunteer at a local ballet company making ballet costumes.”
