Maria S. - Acting Office Manager / Burke

Prior to joining the practice five years ago, I worked for a number of years in the hospitality business and eight years as a nurse in Sweden. I really like the parents and children that come to our practice. I love playing with my dog Lucy, and Dr. Leaf's dog, Ryder. Some of my favorite things to do are listen to music, read books about other countries, and cook. I love swimming and my favorite place is by the ocean.
