I was born in Ohio, but have lived in Gainesville since age 6.  My undergraduate, medical and residency education were all through the University of Florida – GO GATORS!  My career has consisted of serving my home community.  I am board certified in Family Practice and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians.  I share my life with my husband of over 20 years, our now teenage son, 3 chickens, 2 ferrets, 2 cats and a corgi.
