Why I Treat Children
I come from a family of educators and my mom had a specialty in educational systems for children with developmental or medical needs and learning differences.Their work was always moving and from an early age I was also inspired by my own pediatrician and knew I wanted to be one 鈥渨hen I grew up鈥. Neurosciences became an academic interest in college and medical school, and triple board training affords me the privilege of caring for youth and their families in this interface. 聽
What I'm Passionate About
I am motivated by the remarkable resilience children and adolescents demonstrate amidst almost all challenges. It is an honor to be a part of facilitating the best care and support they can receive to achieve their goals, be it at the systems-of-care-level, or at the bedside and everywhere in between.聽
I'm also passionate about the quality of all the health care that we deliver. To that end, I earned a Master of Medical Management (MMM) degree to learn management techniques to promote high-quality health delivery among our various teams of health care practitioners.
How I Try to Make A Difference
I aim to be present and a source of comfort, support and advocacy for youth and their caregivers.
