Did you always know you wanted to be a doctor?
Yes! For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a doctor, and specifically a pediatrician. It was my dream as a little girl to grow up to become a pediatrician and I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to realize that dream. Being a pediatrician is truly my vocational calling in life!
What drew you to pediatrics?
I love caring for children and supporting their families. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping partner with parents to raise their children to be happy and healthy individuals. It is such an honor to be a pediatrician for my patients.
What made you want to join Mercy?
I love Mercy's mission and values and found them very in line with my own personal mission and values of serving my patients through the healing ministry of Jesus, providing excellent clinical care, putting the needs of my patients first, and advocating for my patients and their families.
What do you want parents to know about you and the kind of care you provide?
I want parents to know I am empathetic, compassionate, and thorough. I really see myself as a partner with parents. As an osteopathic pediatrician, I am focused on providing care not just for a specific illness or injury but really seeing my patient as a whole person as a part of a whole family and being sure to address all aspects of what make up a child's health, including physical health, mental health, emotional and spiritual health.
