I chose to pursue a career in medicine, specifically pediatrics, because I love working with children and their families. I believe access to quality healthcare and education can deeply impact a child’s future. As a pediatrician, I get to work with my patients, their families and the community to combine these interests. I believe that a patient and family-centered approach is important. I enjoy working alongside my patients and their families as a team, fostering open discussions and collaborating on decisions. I enjoy working with children and teenagers of all ages. It is a privilege to get to see them grow and develop over time! Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, hiking and spending time with friends, family, and two cats, Milo and Midnight.
