She graduated from Valparaiso University with highest honors and received her medical degree from St. Louis University. In 1993 she completed her specialty training and went on to become board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She has continued her certification on an annual bases through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

She recently received a plaque commemorating her award as one of the best OB/GYNs in America. But she is proudest of her four children ranging in age from 15 to 26 and attends their activities here and in Dallas where they go to school.

At 50 years old, she can relate not only to bearing and raising children but also to hot flashes and night sweats and the many other changes that come with aging. This has led to her interest in the medical spa and special treatments that can make all women look better and feel better about themselves.
