I pursued a career in Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine due to an interest in taking care of a diverse patient population with complex medical, but also personal needs. In this field, I am able to take care of children when they are critically ill, support them during recovery, and see them grow and thrive. I am also able to work to support a family while managing the challenges of having a child with a chronic medical illness. I believe in providing evidence based care, even if that means searching for answers in the literature after a visit, working with a family to determine their goals, and supporting children in order to let them thrive.
