We love spending time in the water (whether it’s the beach or a wading pool in our driveway), hiking, exploring parks and museums.

How has being a Pediatrician changed since having a child? I feel like I relate much better to the families I take care of - understanding more fully that being a parent is both the best and hardest job ever.
