Biography: I loved science and was a smart kid, so going to medical school was an easy choice. I had considered a few specialties, but once I delivered a baby, there was no question: I was meant to be an ob-gyn. \n I'm an American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists board-certified ob-gyn and have been caring for women of all ages for two decades. I have many clinical interests including low and high-risk pregnancies, HPV, minimally invasive surgery and menopause, to mention a few. \n One of the most important aspects of my practice is patient education. I try to use every interaction with a patient as a chance to empower them to make the best possible decisions for their health. \n However, what I value most about practicing medicine is the connections I make with patients and their families. I am often involved in one of the best - or, occasionally, one of the worst - days in someone's life. That's a privilege I never take for granted. \n Now that I've entered middle age, I have a new appreciation for my patients who are going through that journey, which can impact many aspects of our health. Due to this interest, I have done additional training and testing through the North American Menopause Society to become a certified menopause practitioner. \n Before relocating to North Carolina, I was honored to be named a "Milwaukee Top Doc" in 2022 by Milwaukee Magazine. \n With work and parenting five grade-school kids, life is busy. But when I have spare time, I love crafts of all kinds, especially scrapbooking, sewing and knitting.

Biography: My drive to provide each patient with excellent, evidence-based care stems from my own experience as a lymphoma survivor. Being a patient in that capacity showed me firsthand how compassion and personalized care can shape health outcomes. Wherever I meet a woman on her health journey, I want her to know that I listen to her, investigate her concerns and provide the best treatment available to meet her personal health goals. \n While I enjoy all parts of the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, I have special interests minimally invasive surgery, contraception and menopause. Addressing small problems before they become larger concerns, and giving women the tools they need to take charge of their own health, can help women stay as healthy as possible. \n My husband and our two daughters keep me more than busy outside of work. We love traveling together whenever possible. I am a lifelong Ohio State football fan and enjoy weight training and running.
