I was born and raised in Indiana.  I received my undergraduate from Xavier University with a BA in Spanish.  After spending a year in Ecuador teaching and doing environmental conservation work, I returned to Indiana for medical school.  I completed residency at University of Michigan.  I worked for 5 years as a Pediatric Hospitalist in Toledo, Ohio, where I discovered my interest in resident and student education.  I feel very fortunate to be back in Indiana as a member of the Hospitalist team at Riley.  I spend my free time with my husband and our 2 rambunctious little boys.
