Q&A with Nada
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Toy Story, Winnie-the-Poo, Sesame Street
What is your favorite children's book and why?
I love anything by Eric Carl because my mom used to read me his books when I was little girl. I also love Jon Klassen's books, because they are so simple and great at getting kids to think and wonder.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
I loved craft activities- bracelet making, easy bake oven, sticker books, etc.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My mom is my greatest inspiration because she has always put other above herself - she has taught me to be selfless, kind, and helpful. I will always be grateful that I have someone like her to look up to.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Recently, I have enjoyed baking and discovering new places to experience with my daughter.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I have always enjoyed working with kids. I was an elementary school teacher for 7 years before returning to school to become a physician assistant, so pediatrics was just a natural fit. I am also fascinated by childhood development and how quickly kids learn and develop from such a young age. I enjoy educating parents and supporting them in how to best care for their children.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I think the fact that I was an elementary school teacher prior to becoming a physician assistant sets me apart from others. I value education and prioritize educating both parents and children in regards to their healthcare. I also have a unique understanding of how the education system works - for example the process of obtaining an IEP and/or 504 plan for children who need it.
