"Coming from a family of teachers and community-oriented parents, I have always envisioned a career working with children. After choosing medicine, the gentle and humanistic approach of pediatricians drew me to pediatrics. Thanks to great mentors and role models, in particular Robert Hickman, MD, my energies originally focused on childhood kidney disorders. Now as Department Chair and Chief Academic Officer I find joy everyday in working with highly principled and brilliant researchers, educators and clinicians who all seek to make the world a healthier place for children."
