Assistant Professor / Residency Program Director

Biography

Pediatric dermatology has always been the perfect combination of my professional interest in skin diseases and my love of caring for children of all ages. Educating families on their children’s disease as well as my enjoyment of educating the students and residents brought me to University Health so that I could care for patients and resume my role as an educator. I especially love caring for children with severe atopic dermatitis or other diseases requiring complex medical therapy as well as performing laser and surgical procedures in children. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 teenage daughters, traveling, concerts and theater.
