Summary
During my career I have developed kind, compassionate and efficient ways of providing pediatric care in both primary care and specialty care. Boarded in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology Oncology I have worked diligently to be the best at providing clinical care and have taught medical students, fellows, and residents salient points of delivering the finest care to people who expect no less. Over the past three years, I have been able to continue working as a pediatric provider through telehealth medicine. I am looking forward to finding more opportunities to continue telehealth service in primary care pediatrics.
