"I wrote in my medical school application that being a doctor was as much a matter of the heart as it was the mind. During my third year of medical school, it became really clear that pediatrics was what I wanted to do. In working with kids and their families, I found the connection of care and science. Part of it is the challenge of taking care of kids who are sick, but more importantly the hope that you could make a difference that would be lifelong: 50, 60 or 70 years of impact. In 2015, I was fortunate to be able to move to the Pacific Northwest and join an amazing team at Seattle Children's that is bringing more hope to kids and families every day by connecting the heart of care and the science of cure. Hope. Care. Cure. It's what we do best."
