Although neither Dr. Birdwell nor her husband are from SW Virginia originally, they consider the area home. They have a son, Julian, and a Goldendoodle, Bodhi. When not at work you can find her outdoors with her family, reading a book, baking, or working on her latest cross stitch or knitting project.
