About Me

I was inspired to pursue medicine by a deep desire to be of service to others. Over time, I was especially drawn to pediatrics for the opportunity to build long-term relationships with families and help children grow into healthy, thriving adults.

What I find most rewarding is helping patients and families feel seen, supported and empowered — especially during difficult or uncertain times. I’m committed to listening closely, thinking deeply and advocating fiercely for the health and well-being of every child in my care.

I have clinical expertise in pediatric nephrology, including the care of children with chronic kidney disease, dialysis and transplant needs, hypertension and acute kidney injury. I also love mentoring trainees and watching them grow into confident, compassionate physicians.

I’m committed to listening closely, thinking deeply and advocating fiercely for the health and well-being of every child in my care.
