Fun Facts
The best advice Dr. Ribbeck has ever received is “Trust your gut.”
The most interesting place she has visited is Alaska.
Not everyone knows this about her, but she has double-jointed elbows. Her guilty pleasure is chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. As a child, she wanted to become a ballerina because she loved to dance.
