My favorite animated movie is The Lion King.

"Go Dog Go" because my dad read it to us as kids and I had the honor of doing the same for my son! "It's a dog party!"

My favorite childhood toys were Cabbage Patch Kids.

My greatest inspiration is my mom. She was raised on a farm in a rural part of Jamaica, faced many challenges, and is now a cancer survivor. Through it all she remains hopeful, motivated, and continues to put family and faith first.

My hobbies and interests outside of work include swimming, traveling, enjoying live music, and spending time with family and friends.

My father, a fellow pediatrician, inspired me to work in the field. I spent many days visiting him as he cared for premature babies in the ICU and knew from a very young age that pediatrics was my calling.
I truly enjoy serving the children of our communities. I love seeing the wonders of the world on their faces as they grow and feel it is a privilege and honor to be a small part of their growth & development.

I see every patient and family as if they were my own. Their sons and daughters are mine too. As I help guide patients and their families in important decisions regarding their mental, emotional, and physical health, I try to always understand their background and family dynamic, as we work as a team to serve them in the best way possible.
