Aubrey was born and raised in a small town in Illinois close to the Mississippi River. She grew up with an understanding and appreciation of different needs and abilities through her mother who worked as an elementary special education teacher. Through much trial and error (and debating careers in teaching, occupational therapy, and audiology among others), she is thrilled to find herself in the field of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics where she feels she has always belonged.

When not working, Aubrey is an avid reader and coffee drinker. She and her husband enjoy spending time with their cats and playing board games with friends.

Rachel was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. She went to college in Washington, D.C. and then attended medical school in Florida. She stayed in warm weather for residency and completed both her pediatric residency and chief residency at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Her fellowship research project is titled "Hypotonic Versus Isotonic Fluids and Time to Acidosis Correction in the Management of Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis."

In her free time, she enjoys trying new restaurants, working out, and spending time outdoors.

Suné is originally from Pretoria, South Africa, and grew up with her parents and one younger brother. After graduating from medical school, she went on to complete a two-year internship at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, followed by an additional year as a physician in the pediatric department. It was during this time that she was exposed to a wide range of genetic disorders, which cultivated her interest in genetics.

She is passionate about promoting and protecting breastfeeding and is registered as an international board-certified lactation consultant. She hopes to contribute to research on lactation in genetic conditions and collaborate with her home country, South Africa, to facilitate testing for children with undiagnosed genetic diseases in Africa.

Outside of work, Suné enjoys listening to live music, participating in game nights, and traveling. The highlight of her travels is the opportunity to see renowned artworks. She has been privileged to see Michelangelo's David, Starry Night, The Girl With The Pearl Earring, The Night Watch, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, The Mona Lisa, and many more exquisite pieces. She is beyond thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to join the genetics department at Vanderbilt for her training as a medical geneticist.
