My kids
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Reading is my greater passion, you will often find me immersed in the word of literature. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my family, exercising, and brainstorming house projects.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Being around children- both in and outside of work- brings me so much joy. It’s incredibly rewarding to help a parent’s child feel better when they are sick, as well as watch them thrive when they’re well.
