About Me

I find immense joy in caring for children of all ages and working alongside their families to support their health and development. I am passionate about preventive medicine and helping children build a strong foundation for lifelong health. I believe in providing comprehensive care that considers each child's unique needs while partnering with parents to navigate the different stages of childhood. My commitment to children's health also extends beyond my local community through medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, and I look forward to continuing this meaningful work.

As a Jacksonville Beach native and former pediatric patient in my hometown community, I am especially excited to give back by caring for local families. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two children and our golden retriever. I love reading, exercising, hiking and traveling, and one of my favorite pastimes is searching for shark teeth at the beach.
