    Biography

    What I Do
    My philosophy of care revolves around providing comprehensive, exceptional and innovative care for patients with various sleep disorders. I also engage in independent decision-making about individual health care needs.

    My clinical interests include obstructive and central sleep apnea, REM behavior disorder and narcolepsy.

    Why I Love My Work
    What I enjoy most about my job is interacting with patients and their families. My motivation to go into medicine stems from being able to make a positive impact on the well-being and lives of my patients. I also wanted to be part of the development of the fascinating field of sleep medicine. My number one priority will always be to have a deep commitment to my patients and their families.

    Getting to Know Me
    Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my husband, two amazingly energetic boys and twin girls. I also enjoy collecting and reading books of German authors in their original language. I am excited to live and raise my family in such a wonderful and beautiful community with picturesque nature, great schools and an exceptional work environment.
