It is the greatest honor to be able to care for children and to be an advocate for their health. I love spending time getting to know each individual child and navigating the complexities of their communication, growth, and development. Children keep you on your toes, and it goes without saying that they are just so fun and interesting! Kids are strong and resilient, and it is so rewarding to cultivate that and to be a resource to families as their child grows up. I have wanted to be a pediatrician since I was in elementary school, and I cannot imagine doing anything else!
