There is no greater joy than serving children. I have had the privilege to serve children in many ways throughout my life— through international work, research, clinical medicine, and now as a mother. Through these experiences, I have developed a deep appreciation for the concerns of patients and families, recognizing that we all have one shared goal: providing exceptional care for children.
