Why pediatrics?
I absolutely love working with kids and the whole age range from birth to 18 years! I see practicing Pediatrics as detective work-- trying to figure out what's wrong and help navigate medical problems when my patients (ie babies, toddlers) either can't express what symptoms they are having or when my patients are in their teenage years and choose to speak in only yes and no's! Kids also exude an abundance of innocence, curiosity and play and I'd like to think-- it keeps me young too :)
Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I've been vegan for 12+ years and have a huge sweet tooth! In my free time, I love trying new baking recipes!
If you weren't a doctor, what job would you have?
I truly enjoy working with kids so maybe I would be a teacher, or do something creative in arts or music.
What's something kids always ask you at appointments?
"Am I getting shots today?"
If you could have any super power, what would it be?
I would love to read minds! I specifically would love to know what babies and animals think about!

The Hungry Caterpillar
Tell us something that most people don't know about you?
My husband and I have the same birthday-- what a coincidence!
What do you value as a doctor?
I love building deep relationships with my patients and families and watching them grow over the years! I also really value treating mental health and seeing my patients thrive. I do not take the vulnerability of my patients/families lightly and hope that each patient/family leaves the clinic feeling like they were cared for like family!
