What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I went into healthcare because I wanted to help people. I love working with children because they are so resilient and fun. I just want them to feel better and be happy and healthy. I also want to help parents because being a parent is the hardest job you will ever have.

I have been in Pediatrics for the past 35 years. It is a blessing to see the children and their families grow and develop.
