My favorite movie is Frozen because it highlights the powerful theme that love can conquer fear and lead to positive outcomes. It reminds me that embracing love and courage can transform even the most difficult situations.

My favorite book is Harry Potter, as it’s filled with imagination, friendship, courage, and loyalty—qualities that continue to inspire me.

My favorite childhood toy was dolls. I loved sewing clothes for them and pretending to be their mom.

My greatest inspiration is my dad. He’s a dedicated pediatrician who truly loves his work, and his passion inspired me to follow in his footsteps and become a pediatrician too.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and watching movies. Traveling allows me to explore new places, meet different people, and experience a variety of cultures and lifestyles. Watching movies is a great way for me to relax and enjoy different stories and perspectives.

My dad is a pediatrician, and he’s been a big inspiration in my life. Growing up, I realized that my happiest moments often involved being around children and helping them. That sense of joy and purpose led me to pursue a career in pediatrics.

As a general pediatrician, I’m particularly good at newborn care, as well as managing children with gastrointestinal issues and ADHD. Children often find me warm and approachable, which helps build trust. Parents frequently tell me they appreciate my knowledge, patience, and ability to communicate clearly and directly. I strive to create a positive, supportive environment where families feel heard and cared for.

I take time to understand each child’s unique challenges and adjust my approach accordingly—whether that means offering longer appointment times, minimizing sensory triggers in the exam room, or using visual aids and simple language for communication. I work closely with families and caregivers to ensure the visit is as comfortable and supportive as possible, and I coordinate care with specialists and therapists when needed.
