USF Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases

I'm currently working as an Assistant Professor in the University of South Florida Physician Assistant Program. On Fridays, I continue to provide care to patients that require same day (acute care) appointments for USF Family Medicine.

Since graduating from The Ohio State University Sports Medicine Fellowship in 2000, working for the Buckeyes as a team physician, and then coming to USF into 2001, we have worked to develop a world-class sports medicine Institute dedicated to the care of athletes of all levels. From the professional athlete to the young pediatric athlete, we continue to work through education, research, and clinical innovation to optimize the care of all athletes.

Born and raised in Maine, I first pursued an education in exercise physiology before being called to midwifery. I earned a Master of Science in Nursing degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and hold board certification in both nurse-midwifery and family practice. As a nurse-midwife, my job is to provide every woman with current and evidence-based guidance that is free of judgment so that she may make the reproductive healthcare decisions that she knows are best for her and her family. I joined USF Health in late 2013 because it offers an exceptional range of resources and options for women as they face these often difficult choices throughout their lives. I am proud to be part of the Tampa Bay community and serve its women, their partners, and their babies.
