“I’ve always had a heart for children, from volunteering at Rady Children’s Hospital in high school to serving in the children’s ministry at my church. In college, a public health study abroad trip to Uganda focused on children solidified my desire to pursue medicine in pediatrics. I also enjoy the unique experience of working with and caring for different age groups.

I love building rapport and working together with families for the best care of their children, as well as being an advocate for the family as a whole. I’m always amazed by their resilience and enjoy the unique opportunity to do life with them, from their first days to teenage years.

A native San Diegan, I enjoy exploring local restaurants and coffee shops, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.”
