I am from Wilmington and in fact went to high school about five minutes away from the hospital. I worked as a hospital volunteer in the x-ray department during high school and was inspired to become a pediatrician by my own Nemours pediatrician. I trained here during my pediatrics rotation in medical school and have worked here since 2005.
Why I Treat Children
Treating children is an honor and a privilege. The trust that parents give us to treat their children is extraordinary. The ability to work with so many pediatricians in training is icing on the cake.
What I'm Passionate About
Working with families to really make a difference in the health of children. We are lucky because our patients are so diverse in many ways, and we learn from them every day. Nemours offers tremendous opportunities in terms of clinical care, education, and research.
How I Try to Make A Difference
As the Associate Director of the Pediatric Residency Program, I work closely with pediatricians in training. I am also active in the Delaware chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
