I enjoy work­ing with chil­dren, birth through young adult­hood, using a fam­i­ly-cen­tered approach to pro­vide the best indi­vid­u­al­ized care for each child. I am pas­sion­ate about patient edu­ca­tion, from guid­ing new par­ents in car­ing for a new­born, encour­ag­ing healthy habits, to empow­er­ing young adults to take own­er­ship of their health.
