Education:

BS, Genetics: Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas

MS, Genetic Counseling: University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Texas

Clinical and Research Interests:

• My primary clinical responsibilities include coordinating the genetic consult service within the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and providing information and support to families. I enjoy my interaction with patients and health care providers and work to provide information regarding familial risks, genetic testing opportunities, and genetic information. In addition, I am involved in various pediatric clinics through the Shriners Hospital for Children in Houston, where I have a special interest in providing information to families and children with genetic forms of bone disease. One of the greatest rewards of working at UT is my involvement in the teaching, training and mentoring of genetic counseling and medical students, residents, and fellows through my affiliation with the University of Texas genetic counseling training program.
