About me
Thank you for visiting my Web page! I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and get to know your family. One of my favorite aspects of being a pediatrician is the relationship I build with families over time!
Biography
I grew up in Los Angeles and remember wanting to become a doctor ever since elementary school. In college, I discovered how much I enjoy working with and advocating for children. Becoming a pediatrician was a perfect combination of my interests. Since moving here for medical school and residency, San Diego has become home. My husband and I have 4 kids. We enjoy bonding over good food, adventurous road trips, and poking fun at each other. Life gets busy, so I really love and savor the times we get to be together over meals, family movie nights, and their games or performances.
About my practice
As a mom, I understand the many challenges and questions that come with parenthood. I value the privilege of partnering with you to help your children thrive. I hope you will feel the safety and space for open, honest dialogue with me and sense that I am caring for your child as I would my own. I believe in the importance of preventive care and health education, as well as empowering children/teens to make healthy choices for their bodies and their lives. It really does take a village, and I value the role I can play as part of your village.
How I thrive
I easily forget to take good care of myself amid the demands of family and work. I've realized it takes constant reassessment to stay tuned in to myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. I feel most alive when I have good conversation and laughter with the people I love. I thrive best when I have a clear sense of purpose and stay focused on my core values and faith in God. I feel renewed when I get time outdoors, whether it's hiking, gardening, or walking my dog. When I think about my wellness and personal growth, I remind myself that it is a work in progress made up of many little steps, each worth celebrating.
