Experience has taught me to listen well and explain the situation so that my patients understand the issues at hand.

I especially enjoy having a firsthand view of all the human mind and body are capable of, whether that be learning how to walk, mastering long division, or healing from an illness or an injury. It's amazing to watch children grow over time to reach their full potential.

Biography: I love working in pediatrics and find it both challenging and incredibly rewarding.
