When asked why she chose pediatrics as a specialty, her reply is that it was her very own first born child that was her inspiration.
“It was when I had my first baby girl that I realized my chosen field of Pediatrics was my calling, as it is so perfect to have an angel right in front of me. Having had four children of my own, I find joy in being a part of the beginning of someone’s life, helping them to be healthy every step of the way. Throughout my years of experience, I've had the pleasure of taking care of children from infancy to and through their teen years, and then becoming young adults. I want to be there for the parents as well, assuring them and answering their questions. In short, the deciding factor for going into pediatrics was my love for children, and a desire to make sure they received the best care possible.”
