Get to Know Me
I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I come from a family of educators and feel that I continue this tradition of teaching by helping to educate families as well as the next generation of clinicians. As a child, I was always curious. I was also an asthmatic, and so I saw my pediatrician often. I was always impressed by how kind and how knowledgeable my pediatrician was, and by how much she helped my family and me. My experiences with my pediatrician were a big part of why I decided to go into medicine, so I could help others like she helped me.
Why I Treat Children
I find working with children refreshing. They are full of energy, honest, resilient, and fun. They keep you on your toes — you never know what they might say or do. I enjoy helping to make children happy and healthy.
How I Try to Make A Difference
I’m proud to be a member of the Division of Otolaryngology at 91´óÉñ, where every member strives to provide families the best possible care. Â
