What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

Since I was little, I always knew I wanted to work in pediatrics. I have a passion for early childhood development and helping support caregivers of children with special healthcare needs.

What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?

I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years in multiple roles. I started as a nursing assistant in a newborn nursery, worked as a medical assistant in outpatient pediatrics, then as a registered nurse in pediatric home health visits, mainly working with NICU discharged newborns and children with special healthcare needs. I also have experience working in a pediatric urgent care and teaching pre-licensure nursing before becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner.

How do you accommodate patients with special needs?

I have experience working with children with special needs
