Professional interests:

I am a board-certified physician specializing in pediatrics. My professional interests include infectious disease, nutrition and international health. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Hometown: Green Bay, WI
Best part of my work: Seeing a child develop physically and emotionally toward her/his maximum potential as a human being.
Why I became a pediatrician: To be an instrument in God's hand to bring healing and loving kindness to others.
What I tell my friends and family: Spend time and effort in keeping strong, loving family relationships in this area. It affects all other areas in life, including health. Cultivate a thankful heart.
How I spend my free time: Going for a walk with my husband or a good friend, reading with, talking with or watching a movie with my six active children (and sometimes playing soccer or biking with them!), praying and devotional reading.
What patients say about me: That I care about them.
Favorite health tip: I recommend a multivitamin for children and as many options for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Practice philosophy: A child's health is affected by his/her family's health, so both need to be addressed together, including physical, spiritual, mental and emotional factors.
