Q&A with Samara Wright

How did you get into pediatrics?
Initially I was interested in becoming a midwife but over the course of my training and work experiences I was drawn to pediatrics. I think pediatrics found me! It’s a privilege to watch kids grow and evolve into themselves. Also, children are so much fun and I love seeing things from their perspective.

Where did you grow up?
Princeton, New Jersey

Where do you live?
Brooklyn, New York

What do you enjoy most about working in your neighborhood office?
Establishing connections with patients and colleagues and being a part of the community.

What keeps you motivated?
My family and my patients. I am always learning from my patients and this keeps me motivated.

What do you do for fun?
Equal parts of cozying up with a good book or movie and going on urban adventures. I also love to cook and attempt to recreate things I’ve tried in restaurants!
