My favorite animated movie is Shrek.

“The Way I Feel” by Jansen Cain. I believe that teaching young children to identify their emotions helps to promote increased emotional intelligence. In my view, this competency can help kids to achieve happiness and life satisfaction.

My favorite childhood toys were Little People figures.

Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) was the first female physician. She and her sister started the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, now called New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, Pilates, yoga, and solving crossword puzzles.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine from babysitting as an adolescent to volunteering with underprivileged youth in Israel and Boston as an adult. Children are the future. I hope to empower and support parents by building communication with their children and providing evidence-based care.
