Q&A with Dr. Bray
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Powerpuff girls; my favorite character is Bubbles because she is the definition of rainbows and sunshine!
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Barbie dolls
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Going to the beach, Spending time with family and friends, Exploring different cuisines and listening to classical music.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
My godmother who is also a pediatrician inspired me to become one. I want to help children lead productive and happy lives. The pure joy of seeing a child playing when they were so very sick a few days prior, continues to have such an impact on me.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I enjoy neonatology and preventive care. I believe that respecting and recognizing cultural differences/personal beliefs helps in providing patient-centered care that is respectful of each patient's unique background.
