Q&A with Stephanie
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
My favorite animated movie is Pocahontas! I am a true Disney fan and this princess inspires me in many ways to be resilient and to fight for the things I love.
What is your favorite children's book and why?
My favorite children's book is "Oh, the places you'll go!" by Dr. Seuss because it teaches children at a young age about the journey of life!
What was your favorite childhood toy?
My favorite toys as a child would have to be anything Disney related! Dolls, board games. I loved it all.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My greatest inspiration would have to be my mom. She is the strongest person I know, always finds a solution to everything, and has been there for me through the toughest times. She will always be my role-model.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
My hobbies and interests outside of work include traveling, going kayaking, watching Broadway shoes and participating in wellness activities such as meditation, sound baths, and nature retreats.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I truly enjoy working with children and I am passionate about watching them grow from the time they are an infant to a teenager. It brings me joy to connect with children and make them laugh during my visits. Doing clinical rotations when I was studying for my license is what inspired me to want to work in Pediatrics.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
What sets me apart is a combination of clinical competence, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to patient-centered care. I bring strong technical skills and attention to detail, but what truly distinguishes my approach is how I consistently take time to understand each patient as a whole person—not just their diagnosis. I actively listen, communicate clearly, and ensure patients and families feel informed, heard, and supported.
