St. Luke's Anderson Pediatrics
I am a physician assistant at St. Luke’s Anderson Pediatrics and also in the newborn nursery at St. Luke’s Anderson Campus. I believe that I have the best job in the world! To witness the first few days of a newborn’s life is amazing. The opportunity to watch that infant grow and develop into their own unique self is truly a privilege. I have always wanted to work in pediatrics, and I love it! For me, the unexpected part has been how much I enjoy witnessing and supporting parents in the most important job in the world. I am a mom of three children, and I am a mom first. I will never recommend anything for your child that I wouldn’t do for my own.
I am passionate about the role that nutrition and physical fitness play in the quality of our lives as we age. I believe that it is crucial to instill these healthy habits from a very early age.
I graduated from the University of Delaware with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics. After working for several years as a dietitian, I returned to school to obtain my master’s degree in physician assistant studies from Drexel University.
Outside of work, I enjoy working out, hiking, taking walks with friends, going to the beach and spending time with my children. I travel to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where my family lives, as frequently as possible.

“Jenny is everything I hoped our family would find in a pediatrician. She truly listens to all of our concerns and always takes the time to address them thoughtfully, which helps ease my "mom-anxiety." I always leave feeling informed, reassured, and confident in the care my daughter is receiving. She has a knack for making heavier conversations feel light, and is always so gentle with my daughter.”
