My favorite animated move is Zootopia!

My favorite children’s book is Goodnight Moon. It is a timeless bedtime classic and was my daughter’s favorite book growing up. We read it together every night before bed, and I can still remember many of the rhyming words today.

My favorite childhood toys are a tie between Cabbage Patch Kids and Care Bears! I loved collecting them, and each one held a special place in my heart.

My greatest inspiration is my mom. She has always been my biggest source of strength and has taught me the importance of compassion, resilience, and putting family first. Her unwavering support and selflessness have shaped who I am today and continue to inspire me to be the best version of myself.

I love staying active, especially when I can exercise outdoors and enjoy nature. I also love spending quality time with my family and friends.

Kids are the best! I was inspired to work with children to make a meaningful difference in their lives early on. My passion for pediatric allergy grew from seeing how conditions like food allergies, asthma, eczema and environmental allergies can affect not only a child's health, but also their confidence and everyday experiences. I love partnering with children and their families to provide thoughtful, individualized care that helps them feel informed, empowered and able to participate in the things they enjoy!

I want my patients and their families to feel like they have a partner in their care. I specialize in pediatric allergy and enjoy helping families navigate environmental allergies, asthma, eczema, food allergies, and hives in a way that feels practical and manageable. I take the time to really listen, answer questions, and explain things in real time. I like to draw diagrams and use visuals to help explain complex medical conditions.
