I received a Masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of Indianapolis and have been a licensed Occupational Therapist treating patients with FND and Chronic pain at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Dallas Children's Hospital prior to joining the St. Louis Children's team. Nominated as a Pain Champion from 2019-2021 at Dallas Children's Hospital.
