Gender: Female
Clinical Interest for Patients: My many clinical interests include emergent stabilization of critically ill children and their management, both in the PICU and the Pediatric ED.
Care Philosophy: I strive to provide the very best of care for my pediatric patients. As an ICU/ED pediatrician, I have received and continue to receive the utmost cutting-edge medical information and technology available. But I also incorporate a holistic philosophy in treating my patients, knowing that taking best care of my pediatric patients involves taking best care of their family as well during that time of crisis. I am grateful that TCH has a wonderful nursing staff and child life department that works so closely as a team. I believe this team approach is what creates the best atmosphere for emergent/critically patients and their families.
Personal Interests: In my spare time, I enjoy teaching/taking yoga at Corepower Yoga in Denver as a certified yoga alliance instructor and skiing the slopes of Colorado in the winter, as well as listening to my husband's band play at local venues.
Volunteer Activities: I worked with the IHS in rural New Mexico for almost 7 yrs and continue in pursuing local opportunities to reach out to the community through the Urban Youth Program - to provide hope, strength, and experience to adolescents in Denver.
