My philosophy follows a patient-centered approach that values listening, collaboration and individualized solutions. I want my patients to feel heard and empowered in decision making that impacts their mobility, independence and quality of life.
Bio
My path to becoming a pediatrician took a slight twist when I discovered orthotics and prosthetics. I was first introduced to this profession as a patient where I realized that it offered everything that I was looking for in a career - the perfect blend of art and science with patient care at its core. I progressed in the field from an intern to an administrative assistant to attending Northwestern University where I received my Masters of Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2024. Now, I am currently a resident at OP Specialty Bracing.
Outside of work, I enjoy aviation, photography, ultimate frisbee, dancing, road trips and spending time with my family, friends and pets.
