“When I was 6 years old, my class took a field trip to our local hospital for a ‘Teddy Bear Clinic’ where the nurses and doctors helped us patch up our favorite stuffed animals. I was sold on the whole event – the hospital, taking care of others, learning about science. As I grew older, I continued to love the science of medicine and working with kids. My patients in residency were the ultimate confirmation that I loved pediatrics. I am passionate about caring for the most precious and vulnerable members of our society, and I am truly blessed to be living my childhood dream.”
