About me
Welcome to my web page. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better.
Biography
I am a Southern California native, and I have wanted to be a doctor since I was 4 years old. My father is also a pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente, and I credit him for giving me an exceptional example of medical care that I strive to provide to my patients.
When choosing a career in medicine, pediatrics felt like a natural fit because of my passion for helping children become the best version of themselves. Being a pediatrician means advocating for children and supporting families through all stages of growth. I value connecting with families from different backgrounds and can speak both Spanish and Italian.
My experiences living in places like Mozambique and Italy helped shape how I connect with people and understand different perspectives. I am currently the regional lead for Kaiser Permanente’s child abuse prevention program and serve as a clinical assistant professor at the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine. These roles allow me to support children both in clinical care and through broader efforts focused on safety, education, and advocacy.
About my practice
What I value most about my practice is the relationships I build with patients and their families. Trust is at the center of everything I do, and I take pride in creating a space where families feel supported and heard.
I see my role as both a provider and an advocate—someone who helps guide families through decisions, supports their children’s well-being, and works to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
How I thrive
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active with Pilates, painting with acrylics, and spending time with my 2 cats. I also love being involved in my children’s activities, whether it’s sports or music, and those moments are especially meaningful to me.
Spending time with my family brings me the greatest happiness, and I make it a priority to maintain balance by staying active and making time for personal interests.
