I spent my first 18 years in Madison, WI. I was one of six children. I’m married and my husband and I have four kids. I earned my medical degree from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison, WI, and completed my pediatrics residency and fellowship in pediatric cardiology at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and I am a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
