What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Moana.
What is your favorite children's book and why?
Pinocchio - Teaches family love, awareness, friendship. We read it all the times with my kids.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Baby dolls. The ones I could feed, change diapers, and carry them all the times.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My parents. Hard working, loving each other and showing us that family is everything and that they will be there for us always. They always taught me that everything that I do should be done correctly and with discipline and passion.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Enjoying quality time with my kids. Yoga, Pilates, and meditation. Going to the beach.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Since I was a child, I've always loved to be around kids and felt like I was able to make them feel safe. I remember playing as a baby's doctor.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I love to see newborns and get to know the families. The best part of my job is seeing my patients growing. My biggest reward is having the trust and good communication with the parents and patients. Breastfeeding is an important topic that I like to help mothers with. Additionally, I like to guide patients with healthy diets and good routines.
