Q&A with Kara
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Inside Out
What is your favorite children's book and why?
Pout Pout Fish, because it was my daughter's first favorite book.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Baby Dolls and Dress up
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My greatest inspiration is my mom, because I have always felt like she can do it all! She is the perfect example of a "super mom", and I hope to model after her.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
I enjoy spending quality time with my family and going on vacation anywhere with a beach! I enjoy staying active by doing yoga, and going on walks with my husband, kids, and dogs.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
My favorite part of my job is getting to work with children every day and helping them to live healthy, happy lives from birth to early adulthood. Before becoming a PNP, I spent several years as a registered nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which deepened my commitment to the health and well being of young patients. This has led me to be especially passionate about early childhood development.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I am passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with my patients and their families. My approach is always to create an environment that supports open communication and shared decision making with my patients and their caregivers. I particularly enjoy empowering new parents and working collaboratively to ensure every child has the best possible start in life.
