Aladdin and The Lion King are fun movies.

Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss, because it shows you how to celebrate the successes in life and how to persevere through the tough times, and it's all part of the journey.

My Hot Wheels collection!

My greatest inspiration is my mom, and she continues to inspire me every day with her unconditional love of family, her strength despite challenges, and her commitment to doing what's right.

I enjoy spending quality time with family, leading an active lifestyle, and traveling.

Children are resilient and a joy to be around, which sparked my interest in pediatrics. I experienced this resilience firsthand during my time as a registered nurse in a pediatric unit. Providing the care they needed and seeing the positive impact on their health was deeply rewarding and inspired me to pursue a career as a pediatric nurse practitioner. As a provider, I continue to find meaning through building strong relationships with families and watching my patients grow up over the years.

I am welcoming and approachable with my patients and their families, helping children and parents feel at ease. I use active listening to understand their needs and work collaboratively with parents in their child's care. With a strong background in pediatric care, I am happy to serve as a resource for families and help them feel more informed as they make decisions for their child. My goal is to help children lead happy, healthy lives, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support their growth and well-being.

When caring for patients with special needs, I take time to listen to parents to better understand their child's unique circumstances. I work closely with families to connect them with the appropriate resources and referrals. I am open to answering any questions that may arise about their child's health.
