About Me
I prioritize listening to families’ concerns and ensuring that they feel understood. My goal is to help parents feel comfortable asking questions and actively participating in their child's care.
Working with children and their families through the challenges and innovations of medicine makes my job immensely rewarding.
I earned my medical degree from the John A Burns School of Medicine, completed pediatric residency with Hawaii Residency Programs and then went on to pursue a Pediatric Hospitalist Medicine fellowship and MPH with the Medical University of South Carolina.
At University of Vermont Health, I am privileged to provide children with the best possible care while supporting their families.
