get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I have never met a stronger being then a neonate/baby. I absolutely love caring for these patients.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

I would trust my co-workers to care for my own child and I want to work in that environment

Dayton Children's is special because...

we put kids and their families first.
