I have had the pleasure of working in Pediatric Gastroenterology for the past 6 years following my fellowship. My clinical path has included an undergraduate degree in Biology and Chemistry at Valparaiso University. Following undergrad I worked as an Analytical Chemist at 3M and decided to pursue a master's in public health. This pushed me towards medicine and I completed medical school at Rocky Vista University in Colorado. Knowing I wanted to pursue Pediatrics I matched at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando Florida where I spent 3 years. With an ongoing interest in Pediatric GI I was heavily involved in research and landed a fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. My exposure as a fellow was wonderful and I learned a great deal about both GI and Hepatology. My interests include immune mediated disease processes such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Following fellowship I accepted a position with Rocky Mountain Pediatric Gastroenterology and have been in Denver since. I was born and raised in Wausau, WI and have enjoyed the change in winters with our move to Colorado. Work is wonderful but family is everything.
