The rest of my family has their passions. My husband has his bike and loves to photograph our kids in their sports. My kids have been intensely involved in youth group leadership positions at Temple Beth El where our family has had a membership for many years. Music is a big part of our family life….just ask me about it!
My specialty interests in pediatrics include not only treating the medical issues of my patients, but also the psychological and developmental challenges kids face as they move from the school age through the teenage and onto the young adult years. I am always happy to talk about athletic pursuits and share my nutritional knowledge much of which stems from my own interest in sports nutrition.
