I volunteered at my pediatrician's office when I was in high school and knew then that I wanted to become a pediatrician. The best thing about kids is that they are funny, honest and you never really know what they are going to say (my three kids included). I love being part of Akron Children's and living in the Akron area. I earned my medical degree from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine and am certified through the American Board of Pediatrics.
