Overview

Philosophy of care | My goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for children with neurological conditions. My approach is centered on understanding my patients and their families, ensuring their medical and emotional needs are met throughout their treatment journey. | Why I entered medicine | Inspired by my grandmother, I was always drawn to children and caring for them. Throughout my schooling, my fascination for the human body and its complexities grew. In college, I was drawn to research and found my true calling in patient care, where I could directly impact the lives of my patients and their families. | Personal interests | I enjoy traveling, hiking, fishing and time with my family.
