Aladdin

The Hungry Caterpillar, because I remember being read this book in school.

Skateboard

I admire my parents because they both worked hard to support me through my education and without them I could not have become a doctor.

Fitness

I was inspired to work in pediatrics because I wanted to make a positive impact in the lives or children and families.

As a pediatrician, I use active listening to make parents and patients feel heard and understood. I comfort scared or anxious patients by being empathetic to their circumstances and I use humor when appropriate to diffuse tension.
