About Me
I'm an attending physician at University of Vermont Medical Center and the director of the Pediatric Residency Program. My focus as a pediatrician is family-centered care, patient-focused medical home, autism, adolescent health and children with special health care needs.
I fell in love with Vermont as an undergraduate at Dartmouth College. Before joining University of Vermont Medical Center's primary care team, I spent 20 years at a private practice in Burlington as a full-time community pediatrician. My interest in teaching and advocacy led me to a career pivot towards academia, and I am excited to have made this transition.
I thoroughly enjoy my clinical work, especially the family relationships that develop over years of working together and will continue to practice in primary pediatric care. I bring an enthusiasm for clinical practice to my teaching, advocacy and community building.
My career was influenced by my formative years in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I was the eldest of three. My two younger siblings suffered complex medical needs, and this experience inspired my passion for family-centered care and fueled the development of my expertise in medical home, care coordination and working with families to improve population health and medical training. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors.
I bring an enthusiasm for clinical practice to my teaching, advocacy and community building.
