I decided to become a physician because I love of science and have the desire to help people. I feel that being a neonatologist and being able to care for babies is a privilege. It is a privilege to be part of these families' lives, and to be trusted to care for their fragile little babies. I strongly believe in family-centered care, and the importance of inviting families to be active parts of the care team. In my spare time, I write and illustrate children's books, and explore the food scene.
