What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

Being the only doctor in my family, I’ve been told that back in elementary school I used to say I wanted to be a doctor for little kids while playing in a playhouse with my friends. My decision to become a doctor eventually took everyone by surprise, as I had been deeply involved in theater and literature throughout my high school years.
I decided to be a Pediatrician because I wanted to leave a positive impact on the lives of children and their families. I strive to make a difference that last for generations, not only supporting their physical well being but also contributing to their growth and development as individuals in all aspects of life.
In addition, I find children to be incredibly fun and inspiring, which makes working with them even more rewarding.
