Practicing Pediatrics to me is being entrusted by parents and our community to care for our most important future resource - our children. Whether it's practicing in my office-based setting, or advocating on a community, state, or national level, I have the ability to make a significant contribution to the happiness, health, and well-being of our country's future.

I am the oldest of 3 girls and grew up splitting my time between the busy city life of Chevy Chase, MD and the quieter family of the Delaware beaches. I relocated to South Florida to pursue my education and then returned home to Lewes to practice Pediatrics in 2005. My husband and I have 4 amazing children that keep me on the go!

Pediatrics is my passion, and during my time in South Florida, I trained and practiced at Jackson Memorial Hospital and The Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. I perfected my Spanish and was able to do an Internship in High Risk Maternity. While here in Delaware, I have worked as part of the Women's and Children's Department at Bay Health, completed further Pediatric training, and obtained National Certification as an Advanced Practice Family Practitioner. I have also worked as an advocate for the Children's Beach House, Asthma Spacer Camps, and March of Dimes.

Joining the team here at the Pediatric and Adolescent Center has changed my life. I remember being a pediatric patient myself and now I am able to give back to children and their families working with a talented loving pediatric team. I stay busy here at the office and also balance travel, swim meets, surf competitions, gymnastic classes, and teaching at Wilmington University. I believe that every Child is unique and that a team approach is the best! I look forward to growing with your children.

I grew up in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania and moved to Delaware around age 16. I fell in love with Sussex County, the beach, and all the quaint little towns. My husband and I now have 3 amazing and energetic boys who definitely keep me busy! I began my nursing career in 2015 in the NICU and started working at the Pediatric & Adolescent Center as an RN in 2018. I knew that I wanted to advance my career and obtained my Master’s Degree in Nursing in 2021. In the position of Nurse Practitioner, I am able to utilize my skills, knowledge, and expertise to help support and care for patients from infancy to adolescence. Not only do I love our team here at the Pediatric and Adolescent Center, but I love that I can use my experience as a nurse at this office to build strong relationships with patients and positively impact their lives. I have a strong passion for health and wellness, so being able to incorporate my own personal experiences with current guidelines to help patients stay healthy brings me joy. I'm excited to get to know you and your family as we grow together! “Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate.”

I was born and raised in Michigan. I have practiced nursing in Michigan and in Texas where we also lived for ten years. I obtained my advanced practice degree at Texas A&M in Corpus Christi. My husband and I are new to Delaware, moving here last year. We love being a part of the East Coast and we look forward to our time here. My Nursing experience covers Long Term Care, Inpatient Acute Care and the Emergency Room. My advanced practice experience was acquired working as a Nurse Practitioner in a Family Practice setting. Preventative/Well Child care is essential in growing a healthy person. Continuity of care and developing a relationship with patients and their family is very rewarding and I look forward to caring for your child.
