I had a wonderful childhood growing up in Baltimore. My older sister and I are best friends. My mother was a school teacher and my father was a physician. My parents inspired me to be a physician like my dad and teach people like my mom. I enjoy talking to and getting to know people of all ages as well as biology and science. I knew that if I could combine my passions, using science and technology to help people while getting to know them better, that I would love my work, and I do.
