Pediatric Endocrinology

Adrienne grew up in rural Pennsylvania and later studied medical anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh. She traded the rolling hills for the endless sunsets of Phoenix to attend A.T. Still University School of Medicine in Arizona & to complete her pediatric residency training at Phoenix Children's. Longing for rivers and forests, Adrienne set out for middle Tennessee to complete her fellowship in pediatric endocrinology with her husband, Roger the cat, and a backseat full of houseplants!

Here at Vanderbilt, she is funded by a T32 grant to investigate the impact of sex hormones on lipid metabolism and completed the LGBTQ+ Health Certificate Program in 2024. She spends much of her spare time tending her vegetable garden & indoor jungle, as well as taking both outdoor & culinary adventures with her loved ones.
