My favorite animated movie is Moana.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is my favorite because it tells a story of good triumphing over evil in a magical world where animals can talk. It also highlights the unique strength of children, which is one of the many things I love about the population we serve.

My Little Pony was a favorite of mine growing up.

My mom is my greatest inspiration. She moved across the world on her own to create a better life. She is also a breast cancer survivor, and her strength and resilience are deeply admirable.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling the world, spending time with family, caring for my 100+ houseplants, trying new foods, and making time for the gym.

I have known I wanted to work in pediatrics since I was in high school, when I volunteered in the church nursery. I love working with children because of their unwavering honesty and resilience.

I am committed to building trusting relationships with families and ensuring that each child receives the highest standard of care. I am passionate about guiding and supporting parents as they navigate the journey of raising healthy, happy children.
