Care Philosophy
My hope is to participate in reducing health disparities and improving the health of children and their families. I strive to provide personalized genetic counseling care with compassionate listening, assessment and support, while facilitating culturally sensitive informed decision-making.
Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical interests include cancer and blood disorder genetic counseling, or talking with families about how a personal or family history of cancer or blood disorders can impact their, or their children's health. I help with the entire process of genetic testing: before, during, and after. My goal is to help families identify strategies for early detection or prevention of future health problems.

Personal Interests
In my personal time, I am usually busy taking care of my 3 amazing children and our dog. I try to get away for some team exercise each week playing indoor women's soccer and co-ed inline hockey. I also enjoy socializing, playing games like Mahjong, and doing puzzles. I also enjoy cheering for my alma mater, the University of Michigan. Go Blue!
Volunteer Activities
I am dedicated to helping students learn about the opportunities for a career in genetic counseling. I am always happy to talk to or meet with prospective students, and I have spent much of my career working on diversity and inclusion efforts.

Research Interests for Patients
I am doing research that will help us understand why cancer happens more commonly in some families than in others, which cancer types are associated with a hereditary risk for cancer, how emotional, social, and ethical factors influence individuals and their family members in regards to genetic testing for cancer risk during childhood, and what screening and prevention strategies are the most effective for detecting early, or preventing, future cancers, tumors, or blood disorders that individuals and/or their family members may develop. In addition, I am interested in research relating to reducing health disparities and genetic counseling professional issues.
