About

Philosophy of care

When caring for children and young adults, my goal is to provide them with the tools and confidence to thrive in their growth and development. In terms of disease, I use a step-wise approach to diagnose and treat. Prior to any testing or treatment, I weigh the risks and benefits with families to ensure the best outcome without harm. I believe in lifelong learning and strive to obtain and practice with the most up-to-date guidelines.

Why I entered medicine

My interest in working with children began at a young age as I was born into a family of elementary education teachers. I have always been fascinated with the human body and the miraculous ways of self-healing. As a former athlete, I had a particular interest in the musculoskeletal system and human physiology which drove my early studies.

Personal interests

My free time is spent with family including our two very cute but mischievous dogs. We love spending time outdoors, (and enjoy hiking and exploring the Lehigh Valley), as well as going to movies, and sports. I'm an avid Disney, Harry Potter, and Philadelphia sports fan. Go Eagles!
