Philosophy of care | I believe educating families and providing them with tools to help make appropriate decisions regarding their children’s health is my most important job. Through education families and children feel empowered, and this allows them to feel more comfortable when it comes to their health and well-being. My role as a pediatrician extends beyond treating illness, it is also to guide, support and advocate for children. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I realized early that I enjoyed working with children and serving as an advocate and mentor. I enjoy learning, especially science-based learning, and knew a medical career would allow me to be directly involved with children and have the opportunity for lifelong learning. | Community involvement | I am especially committed to serving as an advocate for vulnerable populations and underserved communities. Every child deserves access to equitable care and it is my duty to help bridge gaps in health care by advocating for families. I previously worked in immigration health and community health centers, including acute care, chronic disease management, preventive care and vaccine catch-up. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my family while outdoors, including hiking and biking. I enjoy exploring new places, both locally and internationally. Traveling is a big passion of mine. I love learning about other cultures and trying new restaurants and finding new coffee shops.
