Philosophy

I enjoy providing care in a multidisciplinary environment, where collaboration with the entire care team, including caregivers and patients, leads to the best solutions. Working with children is especially rewarding, as their resilience, unpredictability, and amazing spirit make each interaction unique and enjoyable.

Bio

I grew up with a passion for both medicine and design. Discovering a career in Orthotics and Prosthetics was the perfect blend of science and art, especially when paired with working with children—it was a dream come true. I've had the privilege of working in Tampa, Chicago, and now Denver, alongside some of the best physicians and clinicians.

Outside of the hospital, I can be found adventuring around the world. Whether it's reaching Base Camp of Mount Everest, competing in a Hyrox fitness event, or hiking local trails with my two dogs, I find joy in exploring off the beaten path.
