In Their Words...
What inspired you to work with children?
What drew me to pediatrics was the chance to make a lifelong impact. Helping families lay the foundation for healthy, happy lives right from the start.
My secret talent or interesting fact about me:
I have a sixth sense for spotting the best local bakery in any new city.
The best advice you’ve ever received:
As someone who cares deeply (and maybe overthinks just a little), this reminded me that progress, kindness, and consistency matter more than perfection, especially in medicine and in life.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
On my days off, I’m all about relaxing and recharging. I love taking my two dogs out for a walk or an adventure, baking something sweet at home, reading a good book, and spending time with my husband. And if we can sneak in a weekend getaway or plan our next trip, even better!
