Her favorite thing about working in this field is helping patients and their families go through challenging and stressful times and watching them get better and, in many cases, eventually come off their medications altogether.

“I always knew I wanted to work with kids, even before medical school. Working with kids is fun. I like making children feel special and heard. I love the long-term relationships that I can build with people, and I like to make kids smile and help them feel ok with their condition.”
