My interest in becoming a pediatrician started when I was six years old after a negative interaction with an orthopedics doctor. I vowed then that I would treat my patients with respect, patience and compassion. My passion for pediatrics grew stronger when I entered medical school. I consider it an honor to have the opportunity to care for and impact the life of a child or adolescent. My approach to medical care is child-centered, family-focused and collaborative. I am particularly interested in the management of asthma, eczema and food allergies. When I am not at work, I enjoy gardening and sewing.
