Every Story Matters
“In my third year of residency, I got pregnant with my daughter, Kate. My water broke at 28 weeks exactly. And that was supposed to be five days into my chief year. She held off for a week and then she spent 75 days in the NICU at Riverside. It taught me the importance of staying in the moment and not trying to think of her entire future at any given point. And since then, I think it has given me an entire new viewpoint as a pediatrician.”

I want to pay it forward to the next generation of children with bleeding disorders.”
