She and her husband have two boys and one huge dog.  Her interests are making babies (like in the IVF lab), helping patients, and working with people who also like to do those things! But most of all, she loves taking care of her own family.  If she had spare time, she would love more time to play with her kids, do yoga, eat out, travel, read, and binge watch Netflix with her husband Chris!
