What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
I love to spend time with my family, we go to the park, splash pads, and on walks. I also love to cook/bake, read and travel!
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I love being part of a child's health and development. Education and keeping kids healthy and fulfilling their full potential is important to me. I also love how funny and honest kids are! It is never a dull moment!
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I am a self-proclaimed toenail queen, I am able to do some of the toughest toenail removals with minimal pain! I also am a great listener and big proponent of letting kids answer questions for themselves! I feel that I am good at making families feel comfortable so that they are able to share even the hardest things.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
Examine them in wheelchairs/modify exam as needed.
