Jake was raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He attended Virginia Tech to pursue his undergraduate degree in clinical neuroscience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he worked as a hospital service technician prior to attending Penn State College of Medicine. Jake's interest in Child Neurology began with seeing the care his sister received during his childhood and was quickly confirmed during his Pediatrics, Neurology, and Child Neurology rotations.

In his spare time, Jake enjoys cooking, board games, kickboxing, and exploring new restaurants with his wife.

Connie was born and raised in Mexico. She immigrated to Florida in 2012. Connie became interested in Child Neurology after exploring pediatric subspecialties during her pre-clinical years in medical school. Her long-term shadowing of child neurologists plus her Pediatrics and Neurology clerkships confirmed this was the right specialty for her.

Outside of medicine, Connie enjoys watching football and soccer, playing volleyball, and is especially excited to become a hockey fan - go Predators! She also loves reading, watching movies and shows, and spending quality time with her family.

Taylor grew up in the most southern region of Alabama on the eastern short of Mobile Bay in Daphne, Alabama. Taylor fell in love with the field of neurology in her first two years of medical school through her didactic classes. It was during her clinical education rotations that her interest in neurology collided with the deep joy she gained from working with children, and she knew that her future lay in child neurology.

Taylor is a devoted LSU Tiger and New Orleans Saints fan. However, she uses some of her free time now to cultivate what will surely become a lifelong loyalty to the first hockey team she's ever encountered, the Nashville Predators. This is much to the chagrin of her husband, a dedicated Tampa Bay Lightnings fan.

Megan grew up in Grayslake, IL, a northern suburb of Chicago. From the start of medical school, Megan knew she wanted to make a difference in children's lives. During her clinical rotations, she discovered that her passion for pediatrics and neurology was a perfect match -- a true "no-brainer."

Outside of medicine, you can find Megan at local run clubs and races, exploring National and State Parks, discovering breweries and coffee shops, enjoying live music, and spending time with family and friends.
