My favorite animated movie is Hercules.

My favorite childhood books were the Merlin series by T. A. Barron because they transported me to a world of magic, adventure, and heroism.

My favorite childhood toy was my dirt bike. My dad gave my brother and me motorcycles at a young age so we could spend our weekends adventuring with him.

My greatest inspiration has been my father. He is a strong, positive leader whose relentless determination inspired those around him and encouraged everyone to strive for the same level of excellence.

My interests include going to the gym, exploring new coffee shops, and traveling to different countries and experiencing their cultures.

I have known since I was 12 years old that my path was in the medical field. My passion for pediatric medicine began when my niece was born; the instant connection I felt and the strong desire to protect and care for her inspired me to pursue this field.

I would describe my personality as playful and a little dorky. I can quote and sing along to most Disney movies, and my lighthearted sense of humor helps me build strong rapport and meaningful connections with children.
