Hospitalist - Pediatric

What I Do

In my role, I believe in not only caring for babies but in caring for the entire family. For babies to grow up to be their best possible selves, you have to understand and care for the family as a unit.

My clinical interests include newborns and special care babies.

Why I Love My Work

I’m passionate about babies, whether healthy, sick or just needing a little extra care. They change so quickly and are fragile yet extremely resilient. I enjoy watching them grow and go home with their families. It is a joy seeing families learn about and fall in love with their babies.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I love to travel, read and be active with my family. A unique fact about me is that I have traveled to all seven continents.
