Summary

I've been successful as a pediatrician, department chair, and vice chair of a children's hospital. Prior experience includes medical staff president, member of the board of governors, educator, national expert, leader, women's advocate, public speaker, writer.
I also have physical disabilities that prevent me from practicing clinically or spending long hours in the office every day.

I continue to write. I have also redefined myself again because life is too short to not follow your dreams and use your talents.

I use my vast knowledge of medicine as a criminal forensic expert. I have given presentations to lawyers, reviewed cases, written reports, and successfully testified in court.

My passion as a coach and mentor keeps me busy consulting with individuals looking to hone their skills, learn new skills, become a leader, become a better leader, find more time for themselves, and follow their passions.

If you have career pain, you don't need an aspirin - take control and call me in the morning!

Potty Training - it's not sexy but it's important!

My first attempt at writing a Children's book is The Flushville Four. I use the book to teach parents some important tips and also let kids have fun!
