Personal Statement

I enjoy working with a variety of ages, from birth until young adulthood, and use a family centered approach to provide the best care for each child. I have a passion for patient education, particularly during transitions of care -- from guiding new parents in caring for a newborn and encouraging healthy habits in childhood to empowering young adults to take ownership of their health.
