Anything Disney!
What is your favorite children's book and why?
12 Dancing Princesses because it always kept my attention and was magical to me when I was little.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Littlest Pet Shop toys! Legos, video games like Mario and Zelda.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My Mom because she was someone who taught me so much in the little time we had together and always put her family first.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Watching my boys play football, reading, working out, going to Disney, and traveling.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
To be able to help children during different times and watch them grow.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I always try to meet the child where they're at and make their appointment comfortable for them as much as possible. I also love to be goofy and make people laugh.
