Get to Know Me
I鈥檓 a mom of three, one of whom has special needs, and this gives me a good perspective on my work. I enjoy that medicine is a career where I can continuously learn new things. I鈥檓 a natural caretaker at heart, and I love partnering with parents to help their children grow and develop into healthy adults.
Why I Treat Children
I knew when I was very young I wanted to work with children. I also loved science and problem solving, so becoming a pediatrician was a natural fit. I knew it was the right fit when I diagnosed a baby with life-threatening meningitis during my first year of practice. Because she was treated in time, she survived to lead a healthy, normal life. I sometimes think she was my reason for being here on earth.
What I'm Passionate About
I have a deep interest in autism spectrum disorders and do all I can to keep up with research in that field.
