She graduated with an MSN as a pediatric nurse practitioner from the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Nursing in 2016. She was drawn to genetics from past work experience in a genetics lab at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In nursing school, she had a clinical rotation with a genetics PNP at Lurie Children’s. Since then, she reached out for genetics nursing roles, and is now helping to build a pediatric genetics department, as a medical provider working with a group of genetic counselors, seeing patients in general genetics clinics, in various specialty clinics, as well as seeing inpatient consults of infants and children who may benefit from genetics evaluations.
