Personal Statement

My passion for pediatric pulmonary disease and sleep medicine stems from a deep commitment to helping children breathe and sleep better—regardless of the complexity of their medical conditions or the level of support they require. I am dedicated to providing thoughtful care to children with both common and rare respiratory and sleep disorders, with the goal of improving their overall health, development, and quality of life.
