Why Med-Peds?:
"I chose Med-Peds because I really value the relationship between patients, families, and their physicians. My experiences in pediatrics showed me how important it is not only to know the medicine, but also to communicate it in a way that patients and families can understand and feel empowered by. Med-Peds gives me the opportunity to do that in so many ways, from supporting children and their parents to helping adolescents transition into adulthood. In short, I really enjoy being able to help everyone I can."
Outside interests:
"Outside of medicine, I enjoy trying new restaurants, reading, exploring new parks, and going on road trips."
