I was initially intrigued with medicine as a career when I discovered the possibility that I could use investigative skills in order to help diagnose, treat, and help people. I was drawn to pediatric medicine because I love being able to play a role in preventing future disease by laying the groundwork early with parents and their children. I enjoy sharing the most updated guidelines and research with families, in addition to my own practical advice from being a mother myself.
