Growing up in a northern suburb of Detroit, Michigan, I had a passion and a desire. I didn’t know it yet, but I began pursuing my passion at age five when I started piano lessons. Throughout junior high and high school, I was a good student and wanted to learn how things worked – especially the body, which directed me to my desire of medicine. I began my dual education at Alma College (go Scots!) in Alma, Michigan, where I studied pre-med, all the while participating in every musical activity possible, including theater. After five years, I received a bachelor’s degree in Biology, and another in Piano Performance.

After graduation, I moved away from Michigan to live in the much warmer climate of Atlanta, Georgia. Here I attended the Master’s Program in Anesthesiology and Patient Monitoring Systems at Emory University. I graduated in 1997 as a Physician’s Assistant in Anesthesia, also called Anesthesiologist’s Assistant. My first employment opportunity was at Piedmont hospital, where I stayed for four years. I missed academics and pediatrics, so I left and went back to Emory, where I split a shift between Emory hospital and Egleston Children’s hospital for another two years. At this point, the opportunity arose for me to join the ESA family and work closer to home. I have been employed here ever since 2004, and I am still able to perform some pediatric anesthesia here, as well as keeping up my OB skills.

I currently live in Alpharetta with my husband Brian and our two dogs. I have been keeping my passion for music alive by participating in my church praise band and returning to musical theater, and I have also developed a new interest in tennis since I’ve been married.
