As a pediatric hospitalist, I have the privilege to care for children and their families when they are admitted to the hospital.  The variety, complexity, and challenging diagnoses we encounter each day makes my job extremely engaging.  Providing high quality care as a health-care system is a professional interest.  As a Physician Team Leader at Children’s hospital I am afforded the opportunity to drive system changes through quality improvement projects which positively impact health outcomes.  My biggest passion is medical education, most specifically medical student education.  Students bring a degree of excitement and wonder which is infectious and reminds me of why I went into medicine.
