What motivates you?

I chose pediatrics because I enjoy forming lasting relationships with families and helping guide children and parents through every stage of development. From newborn visits to college physicals, it's incredibly rewarding to watch my patients grow up. I feel incredibly lucky to both work and raise my family in this community. It's special to take care of friends, neighbors, and families I see in everyday life. Some of my favorite moments are running into patients around town — especially at Trader Joe's! I'm also fortunate to work with amazing colleagues, and we truly function as a team with one shared goal: making the care of our patients our number one priority. When I'm not in the office, I'm spending time with my husband and our two teenagers traveling, hiking, staying active, discovering great food, relaxing with a book or craft project, and cheering for Rutgers sports —
