Family Life

I live in Gilbert with my husband, Justin. We have three children. Gabe, 6, is our oldest. Chloe, our middle child, died shortly after birth two years ago, and she is the inspiration for my career and research endeavors. Aiyana, our youngest, was born in the summer of 2008. I love spending time with my family and playing with the kids.
