Q&A with Vanisha
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Inside Out
What is your favorite children's book and why?
*Love You Forever* by Robert Munsch holds a special place in my heart because each time I read it, I’m transported back to my childhood, evoking memories of home and the warmth of unconditional love. The story continues to resonate with me, reminding me of the deep bond shared with family and the timeless nature of love.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Skip It Toy from the late 90's
Barbie Dolls
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My greatest inspirations are my parents, who have been the foundation of my values and ambitions. From a young age, they taught me the importance of hard work, discipline, and sacrifice, showing me that true success comes from dedication and perseverance, not just accomplishments. They instilled in me the belief that nothing worth having comes easily, and that challenges are a natural part of life. The most profound lesson they've taught me is resilience—understanding that life’s obstacles are not punishments, but opportunities to grow and learn. In a world focused on instant gratification, my parents have shown me that true fulfillment comes from grit, patience, and the willingness to push through adversity.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Spending time with my family and traveling to new places
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I was inspired to pursue a career in pediatrics because of my genuine passion for working with children. There's something incredibly fulfilling about watching them grow, develop, and overcome challenges—each milestone feels like a shared victory. The opportunity to support and guide them through their formative years is not only a privilege but also the most rewarding part of this profession. Knowing that I can make a positive impact on their health and well-being during such a crucial time in their lives motivates me every day.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
Children are more than just “the child in the room.” I strive to be the best provider by not only speaking with the parent, but by engaging directly with the child as well — encouraging them to share their own stories, concerns, and questions. I believe age‑appropriate communication helps them feel seen, respected, and more involved in their own care. By doing so, trust builds, and I can better understand their fears or misunderstandings; that way we can address both medical issues and emotional ones together.
