She earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Bellarmine University in Louisville, and her master’s degree in nursing from Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights.

Sharon specializes in pediatric general surgery, providing care for children in the hospital who have had surgery for common and complex conditions. She also cares for those with injuries from accidents, burns or sports.

Sharon enjoys the collaborative nature of pediatric surgery, and works as part of a team with the nursing staff, pediatricians, physical therapists, child life therapists, and many other specialists.
