I've known I wanted to be a pediatrician since grade school.  After my undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, I continued my Medical School education at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. I moved to Phoenix and completed my residency training at the Phoenix Hospitals Affiliated Pediatrics Program.  I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and have practiced pediatrics since 1998. I am married with three wonderful children - Austin (12), Grant(9), Jenna (5).

After one of my many ear infections at the age of six, I told my mom that I wanted to be a doctor.   The rest is history!  I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland and went on to medical school at the University of Arizona.  I followed my husband to Phoenix and completed a residency at the Phoenix Hospitals Affiliated Pediatrics Program.  I am a board certified pediatrician and have enjoyed practicing the art of pediatric medicine in a private practice setting since 1998.  I am married with three lively, happy children - Ray (9), Chloe (7), and Evan (5).

I have always wanted to work with children.- While an undergraduate at Arizona State University obtaining my bachelors in psychology, I was a preschool teacher's assistant, did research with children, and was a cognitive-behavioral therapist for children with autism. I determined that medicine would be the best way for me to combine my loves of children and science and went to the University of Arizona for medical school. I love Arizona, so I stayed for the Phoenix Children's Hosptial-Maricopa Medical Center Pediatric Residency program. I am married with two little princesses, Clara (4) and Aubrey (1).

I grew up in the East Valley and graduated from Dobson High school.  I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Arizona.  Knowing that I had a passion for medicine, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in physician assistant studies at the Arizona School for Health Sciences.  Physician assistants are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. As a PA in pediatric practice since 1999, I conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, and write prescriptions. I am certified by the National Commission of Physician Assistants, and a member of the state and national PA organizations. I am married with two sons, Trent (8) and Eric(6).

I grew up in the Chicago area and graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Psychology. While working with children in this field, and always having had a passion for medical science, I decided that I would like to combine counseling and teaching in the field of Nursing. I went back to school and obtained a Bachelors and Masters of Science in Nursing from ASU. I bring over 30 years of experience caring for the children of the East Valley as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner certified by the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board. I am on the faculty of the University of Phoenix, teaching both graduate and undergraduate programs in Nursing. I enjoy visiting my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson in California in my free time.
