How did you get into pediatrics?
During my residency and neonatology fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, the work of caring for fragile newborns, and advocating for their safety through the Child Protection team, showed me how profoundly pediatric medicine can shape a child’s life. Those experiences cemented my commitment to pediatrics and neonatology.

What do you look forward to most about working in your neighborhood office?
It is an honor for me to become part of the Tribeca Pediatrics team, as I have longstanding respect and admiration for its founder, Dr Michel Cohen, and his approach to pediatric care. I am excited to get to know the staff at the Hastings-on-Hudson location, and I am thrilled to be working in such a beautiful environment. I hope to get to know the families as quickly as possible and become part of the community. In addition, my husband and I look forward to relocating to the area in the near future.

What keeps you motivated?
I love seeing babies thrive and kids growing and developing. I also enjoy building relationships with parents, so that they can feel comfortable and confident in their child’s care.

What do you do for fun?
My husband and I love music, so we often go to hear live music and we also are performers. We sing together, and my husband plays guitar. In addition, I enjoy taking Pilates and dance class when I have time
