Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
spending time with my dogs, going to the beach
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I became interested in pediatrics because children are incredibly resilient which is inspiring, and their honesty brought a joy that was unique compared to any other field
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
One of my strongest qualities is my ability to communicate with both children and adults in a way that feels respectful, clear, and reassuring
I’m especially patient and observant, which helps me pick up on nonverbal cues—whether a child is anxious, overwhelmed. I take the time to build trust first, even if that means slowing down, getting on the child’s eye level, or using play and humor to reduce fear.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
provide longer visits for complex patients and work with parents to help ensure provide the best possible care
