Personal Statement
I am thrilled to be a part of the Texas Children’s team making an impact here in Austin! I love building meaningful connections with my patients and their families and will always provide them with the education and support to make important decisions. I look forward to working with families here in Austin while exploring options for independence for each child and helping children celebrate all their achievement, no matter how big or small.
When I'm not at Texas Children’s, I love to explore the Austin-area parks, playgrounds and water activities with my husband and children.
