My favorite animated show is Tom and Jerry.

Charlotte’s Web was my favorite childhood book because it shows the importance of friendship and kindness. I loved the bond between Charlotte and Wilbur, and it taught me how small acts of care can make a big difference.

My greatest inspiration is my parents. They immigrated to a new country and worked incredibly hard to create opportunities for me that they themselves didn’t have. Their courage, sacrifice, and determination taught me the value of resilience and perseverance. I’m motivated to make the most of the opportunities they gave me and to carry forward their example of hard work and gratitude

I was inspired to work in pediatrics because I love seeing children grow and develop. I enjoy building relationships with families, being a support during tough times, and helping guide parents as their children go through different stages of life.

I think every pediatric provider develops their own unique style of caring for patients. For me, I really focus on listening to families and building trust with children, so they feel comfortable. I try not to rush visits, so parents feel heard and supported. I’m also bilingual, which helps me connect with a wider range of families and make sure communication feels clear and personal
