My favorite animated movie is Frozen because it highlights the special bond between sisters. I've always shared that kind of bond with my two sisters, and now I see it reflected in the relationship between by two daughters.

My favorite childhood book is Charlotte's Web because it showed me the beauty of friendship, loyalty, and kindness.

My favorite childhood toy was puzzles because it encouraged creativity and provided comfort.

My 12 year old daughter who was born premature at 27 weeks is my greatest inspiration. Watching her strength, resilience, and growth after such a challenging start in like opened my eyes to the power of pediatric care.

My hobbies outside of work is traveling with my husband and 3 children. I enjoy hiking, playing tennis and going to the beach.

I was inspired to pursue pediatrics because I've always been drawn to working with children and their families. I get the chance to build trust, provide reassurance and be part of milestones in a child's life.

One of my unique qualities I believe is my strong bedside manner. I make it a priority to truly listen to parents concerns and involve the whole family in the care process. I believe that building trust and partnership not only reassures families but also leads to better outcomes for children.
