"I care for children with a broad range of surgical conditions. It brings me joy to help children get healthy. We have our hard days, but we keep moving forward and continue to make a difference."

"I love helping kids get back to being kids. I often meet families on the hardest days of their lives, and I strive to be a steady, compassionate presence by clearly guiding them through procedures, recovery and the uncertainty that comes with it. Watching a child leave after healing, with the opportunity to enjoy childhood again, is profoundly meaningful."

"My passion is helping patients, families and team members meet their goals and achieve positive outcomes. Seeing our patients and families achieve their goals and hearing the pride my team has when they make a difference is what makes this work so rewarding."

"Pediatric cardiology combines complex and challenging medicine with a lifelong opportunity to make an early impact on a child’s life. The care you can provide as a pediatrician is long-lasting, even the smallest intervention feels impactful.”

"I didn’t always know I would become a psychologist, but even from a young age, I knew I enjoyed helping others and working with people.  I was often told I had strong interpersonal skills, and over time, those qualities naturally guided me toward the field of psychology.  In many ways, it feels like psychology chose me."

"Well child visits help us ensure kids are growing and meeting milestones, and they give us a chance to catch concerns early, before they become bigger issues. In these appointments, I also get to provide education constantly to help reassure parents that they are doing an amazing job raising their kids and calm their fears."

"I feel deeply blessed to be the first physician in my family. A lot of people supported me through my journey and, while it takes a village to raise a child, it definitely takes one to raise and train a clinician. For anyone aspiring to work in medicine, find a place that allows you to care for your patients and aligns with your mission."

"Caring for patients is an incredibly fulfilling career because you build many relationships. A key to long-term satisfaction for me has been finding areas, beyond formal education, which keep me interested and learning new things."
