Care Philosophy
I believe every child with a chronic autoimmune disease should grow strong, thrive, and live a childhood full of adventure. I use evidenced-based treatments and partner with families to optimize their journey. I believe movement is medicine. I encourage every patient to find fun, physical activities to build strength, confidence, and friendships. My love of travel fuels my commitment to partnerships with pediatric rheumatology experts around the world.
