I graduated from Baker University with a BS in Nursing in 2000, then worked as a Registered Nurse before going to PA school at Wichita State University. I graduated as a PA in 2002 with a 4.0 GPA, and then started my career as a float at Cotton O'Neil. In 2003, I accepted a position in a Pediatric Clinic (Cotton O'Neil Pediatrics) where I have been for 19 years. I love working with kids and their families. I'm an excellent listener and I love to teach. I have a strong following of families who request to see me year after year. I work well with others and feel that excellent communication and appreciation are the keys to success.Working in different capacities has allowed me to understand what it takes to have a successful team to care most effectively for patients.
