Special Interests/ Hobbies:
I enjoy exploring new restaurants, breweries and wineries, as well as reading and cooking, including testing out new sourdough recipes. My boyfriend and I recently welcomed a Great Dane puppy, Esther, into our family. Born and raised in Buffalo, I’m a loyal supporter of the Bills and Sabres. I was a coxswain for West Side Rowing Club in high school and later for the University of Tulsa women’s rowing team, experiences that instilled in me the importance of teamwork, leadership, and effective communication.

What’s On Your Playlist?:
I primarily listen to my boyfriend’s playlist, which is a mix of everything.
Why Did You Choose Pediatrics?:
My decision to work in pediatrics was influenced by my own experience as a childhood cancer survivor. The care I received as a child gave me firsthand insight into the positive impact a pediatric healthcare organization can have on patients and their families. Although my role is in finance, I am passionate about supporting that mission and helping ensure the organization has the resources needed to provide exceptional care.
