Children are our future. As a pediatrician, I have the privilege of meeting many families and their children. Through my work and with early interventions, an improved quality of life for patients can result.
I was drawn to caring for children during my medical school training. During my residency, I developed a deep interest in chronic gastrointestinal challenges, which led me to pursue advanced training in pediatric neurogastroenterology and advanced endoscopic techniques.
I am board certified in pediatrics and pediatric gastroenterology. My clinical focus includes:
• Motility disorders
• Eosinophilic esophagitis (inflamed esophagus)
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
Additionally, I am skilled in advanced endoscopy and manometry procedures, including:
• Esophageal manometry
• Antroduodenal manometry
• Colonic manometry
• Anorectal manometry
My research interests include chronic constipation.
I received my medical degree from the University of North Carolina, where I also completed my residency in pediatrics. I then completed a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading high fantasy books and spending time with my husband and our two sons. We love hiking, biking and traveling together.
