About

Biography

I specialize in general pediatric primary care and have special interests in medical education and global health. My journey into medicine began with a love for working with children—even before I knew I wanted to be a doctor, I knew I wanted a career devoted to helping kids. In high school, I set my sights on becoming a pediatrician. Kids are smart, witty, cute, innocent, and resilient, and it’s a joy to form lasting connections with them and their families.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, enjoying the outdoors, cooking and baking, and exploring local restaurants and coffee shops.
