I love watching children grow and mature. As a pediatrician, I get to build long-term relationships with patients and their parents. I try to make sure each child knows I care about their health and I also care about them as an individual. I received a card from one of my little patients and on it she wrote, “Thank you for making sure I never get sick all year.” Obviously, she gave me super powers I don’t actually have, but it’s that sincerity, honesty and child-like thinking that draws me to caring for kids.
What I'm Passionate About
I want all kids to know they hold the power to direct their own lives by the choices they make.
Make A Difference
My patients may see me as having super powers. I try to teach each one that they have their own super powers — they can make a difference in the world and can grow to be and do whatever they want.
