My favorite movie is Mary Poppins.

Three musketeers because it was my first book.

My favorite childhood toy was G.I. Joe.

My greatest inspiration is my father. He is my example of a devoted family man and a dedicated doctor, and I admire his honesty and wisdom.

My hobbies and interests include running, going on family trips, and playing tennis.

During my medical training, I always enjoyed working with children. I was inspired by the way they respond to treatments and by their kindness, innocence, and resilience.

What sets me apart is my genuine passion for working with children and my ability to build trusting relationships with both patients and their families. During my medical training, I was drawn to pediatrics because of the resilience, honesty, and positive spirit of children. I enjoy helping them feel comfortable and safe during their visits, especially when they may be anxious or frightened.

When examining my patients, I first try to make them feel comfortable by assessing them in their wheelchair or in their mother's arms whenever possible, doing whatever is necessary to minimize anxiety and create a positive experience.
