Healing patients and being part of the lives of the families I care for is my passion. I dreamt of being a pediatrician as a child. I noticed that children, even when ill, love to play and know how to capture the essence of each day. Children never give up. I'm very dedicated to being a pediatrician and am committed to improving the status of health care in our country. I have been very involved in The Everett Clinic administration and leadership.
