✨ Forever grateful. Forever committed.

Pediatrics is one of those gifts I know God trusted me with.

To this day, every time I examine one of these tiny little humans, I’m fully aware of the immense responsibility that comes with it.

Being trusted by families to care for their children is not something I take lightly—it is an honor I carry with me every single day.

I feel deeply blessed to do work that fills my heart so fully. Caring for children was my first professional love, and it continues to be one of the most meaningful parts of who I am.

And I will continue to show up for my patients with the same devotion, gratitude, and sense of purpose that first led me here. 🤍

Perspective

When people question vaccination because it's "not natural"...

Let me tell you, there's nothing natural about whooping cough bacteria invading a tiny, defenceless body.

Nothing natural about watching your baby’s face turn blue as they gasp for air, or the mechanical hum of an ECMO machine keeping them alive.

Nothing natural about a newborn being poked with needles and tubes in an intensive care unit, and there is certainly nothing natural about burying your child before they have even had the chance to smile.

You know what IS natural?

Protecting your baby!

A parents love for their child is the most natural thing in the world, and because we love them, most of us choose to protect them💙
