Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
Primarily my late mother who guided and supported me through life and raised me in the Catholic faith that made me who I am.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Gardening, cooking, playing the piano, swimming, working out at the gym, reading/listening to inspirational/religious books and talks, and going places.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Children are very precious and I believe that a pediatrician is one who can make a difference in a child's life.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I believe that I have the patience to listen to my patients' parents and guardians and understand their concerns. I think that this patience can definitely improve communication and build trust.

Accommodations will be on a case by case basis. Each patient is considered individually depending on the needs
