Why Pediatrics?

“I’ve always, always, always known I was destined to work with children. From as far back as I can remember I begged my mom to babysit or work in the nursery at church. It wasn’t until I started college that I decided to become a Nurse Practitioner. I wanted to be able to have a relationship with my patients and watch them grow and become successful in life, while helping them with any health issues they might encounter along the way.  Becoming a primary care provider is my dream job and the best way to do what I absolutely LOVE!”

Fun Facts

“I live in Fort Worth with my husband and our 3 dogs (Jake, Ace, and Marley). I absolutely love to travel and my husband and I are both devoted foodies. My favorite food would have to be tacos followed by anything sweet!  I have also recently discovered a love of gardening; I enjoy taking care of my little plants and watching them grow. I have a soft spot in my heart for adoption and hope one day my husband and I will be able to adopt a sweet babe of our own.”
