I have wanted to be a doctor as long as I can remember. Medicine joins together my interest in science, my desire to solve problems, and my goal of having a job where I can make a difference. Every patient is different, which is why forming relationships is such an important part of my job. My goal is to work together with families to make happy and healthy children so they have the best chance of success in their adult futures. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time outside, traveling, and reading.
