My favorite cartoon growing up was The Smurfs.

My favorite children's book is Anne of Green Gables. The main character, Anne, was inspiring. Despite her challenges, she was able to uplift all those around her.

My favorite toy as a child was Lite-Brite.

My greatest inspiration is my mother. She taught me the importance of working hard, caring for others, and living life to the fullest.

Traveling, jigsaw puzzles, reading, and exercising

I have loved children since I was young, drawn to their innocence and curiosity. As a pediatrician, I have a positive impact on their lives and their families. It is rewarding not only to heal their illnesses but to participate in their growth to becoming strong, independent young adults.

I strongly believe that my role is to partner with parents in the care of their children. I love to educate my families to ensure that they are a part of the decision-making process. This helps to build a healthy and trusting relationship.
