Why did you become a healthcare provider?
I wanted to Juxtapose my loves of applied science, my amazement with the wonder of the human body, and the opportunity to speak into lives of children and their parents. So becoming a pediatrician was the perfect path for me.
What do you enjoy or find most fulfilling about caring for patients?
Watching my patients grow up is incredibly rewarding. Seeing them come in year after year for the well-checks, learning about how their interests and talents have changed , and how they have grown – not just in height and weight but also as a person brings me such joy.
