How I fell in love with my field of practice:
I have always loved children and consider myself a child at heart. You know that when you can sing along to most classic Disney movie soundtracks that you are meant to be a pediatrician. In all seriousness, though, I have always had a passion for advocating for children, who are often unable to do so for themselves. Being a pediatrician has allowed me to serve as that advocate while also being fun and goofy and wearing fun sparkly badge reels.

Three things people might not know about me:
- I am in my toddler mom era – thriving and surviving on caffeine and random dance parties to 2000s music hits with my kiddos.
- I have recently joined the yoga sculpt movement. No regrets there.
- I love to read (fiction only) and often can be found with a book or Kindle in hand.
