I was also always fascinated with the sciences of the human body.What I want my patients to know about me:I enjoy taking care of the tiniest, sickest patients--nurturing them back to health while helping families cope and navigate through the intensity of a NICU stay. I work with a great group of people who are dedicated and love what they do.What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I spend my free time traveling all over the world. In the past, I have participated in many mission trips to under-served countries. This has given me an appreciation of the many privileges we experience here.
