Q&A with Sarah

What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

Coco

What is your favorite children's book and why?

The Rainbow Fish - mostly because I was obsessed with the sparkly cover!

What was your favorite childhood toy?

Barbie dolls

Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

My greatest inspiration is my mother. Her resilience and optimism has taught me to stay calm and focused even during the most difficult of times.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

I enjoy knitting, crocheting, traveling, and spending time with my family and cats. I am also a Trader Joe's fanatic!

What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

I enjoyed the close relationship my family had with my pediatrician growing up and I have always loved working with kids from a young age.

What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?

I utilize evidence-based medicine and I ensure I stay up to date on the most recent clinical studies and research. I enjoy working with kids of all ages and I hold special interests in preventative medicine, developmental pediatrics, and adolescent medicine.
