I’m married with two children and a dog. I was a ""candy striper"" (hospital volunteer) in high school and always liked helping people in the hospital. Initially, I wanted to be a pathologist because I was fascinated with forensics, but in medical school, I found that I preferred helping children, especially those with disabilities.
Why I Treat Children
Kids have an amazing attitude like nothing could ever stop them. They can adjust to situations quickly, and they’re fun to be around. As a pediatric resident at Thomas Jefferson University, I was impressed by Nemours’ commitment to children with disabilities. I can’t think of a better place to work.
