"Heading into Emergency Medicine residency training, I was very open with where I wanted my career to take me. Over the last three years, I quickly found that working with pediatric patients was something I was drawn to and naturally gifted in. My ultimate career goal is to be in a large pediatric hospital where I can focus solely on peds care and pursue academic and educational interests."
