What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I was drawn to pediatrics by the honesty and resilience of children and by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact early in life. I enjoy developing long-term relationships with my patients and being a trusted resources for families at every stage of childhood.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
As both a pediatrician and parent, I understand how important it is for families to feel heard and supported. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your child's care by listening closely, explaining things clearly, and working together to make thoughtful, practical decisions. I focus on building genuine relationships so families always feel comfortable asking questions and sharing concerns.
I also have a strong background in breastfeeding support and enjoy helping families navigate feeding challenges with practical guidance, reassurance, and compassion.
