"I have lived in North Texas since I was a first grader at Carlisle Elementary in Plano, TX. I completed high school in Plano and stayed close to home for college. I graduated from Texas Christian University with a B.A. in Biology and a minor in Spanish in December 2000. From there, I spent a couple of years working outside of the field of medicine. In 2003, I moved to San Antonio to go to medical school and loved it so much that I stayed there to complete my pediatric residency at UT Health Science Center San Antonio. During my years in San Antonio, I met my husband and we married my first year of pediatric training. Prior to opening 127 Pediatrics in July 2018, I was a newborn hospitalist for many years in Tarrant County. My peers voted me Top Doc in the 2018 edition of Fort Worth Magazine. My husband and I have had many adventures together, not the least of which was the birth of our daughter. As a family, we love to laugh, travel and eat great food. Our home base has been the mid-cities for many years and both of us serve the great people of this area of the metroplex. My husband is a successful insurance agent that owns his own independent brokerage. We have two dogs that we obtained from a local rescue that love us more than we deserve. We are active members in our church and have been involved in various community outreaches through our years there. My inspiration for the name of 127 Pediatrics comes from Psalm 127 in the Bible."
